The estate vineyard sits on a hillside next to Chateau Montaiguillon in the Montagne Saint-Émilion satellite of the Saint-Émilion appellation, located on the right bank of Bordeaux. Chateau’s vines are planted on a superb south-facing clay slope, optimising the sunlight available during the day while offering good drainage. The clay-rich soil offers good water retention properties to nourish the vines during the warm growing season in the Mediterranean climate. The blend is made predominantly of Merlot, which is an early flowering variety that can be susceptible to spring frost. The vines are sustainably cultivated, and the estate is certified HVE level 3, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. The vines are machine-harvested at optimal maturity to retain freshness.
