- Made by the fifth generation of winemakers, this claret is marked by fine blackcurrant, raspberry fruits, and an elegant touch of spice. Lively and balanced on the palate, with fine tannins, it has a deliciously rounded finish. r Alphonse Chevreux and the fifth generation of winemakers took over the running of the Château. Having studied viticulture and oenology, he brought a dynamic vision and invested in the vineyards, resulting in the Cru Artisan designation. The vineyard is sustainably cultivated at holds the HVE Level 3 certification.
The grapes from each plot were carefully selected and totally destemmed. Traditional vinification occurred with fermentation in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats at controlled temperatures averaging 26°C. Daily pump-overs ensured the desired level of extraction and aeration of the wine. Following vinification, the wine was aged for 18 months in a vat before being bottled without fining to preserve the fruity character.

| Winery | The 18-hectare estate is situated in Civrac en Medoc on the left side of the Gironde estuary, approximately 70 km northwest of Bordeaux. The estate is managed sustainably and holds the Haute Valeur Environmental (HVE3) certification, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. The estate is primarily planted with the Bordeaux varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller parcels of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The 25-year-old vines are planted at a density of 6,500 per hectare on clay-limestone ridges. These slightly oily soils constitute a balanced soil; combining the clay's freshness and humidity with the limestone's filtering properties. The fruit benefits from the temperate climate and the sunny exposure of the plots. The grapes are harvested after reaching optimum maturity levels, following tastings and oenological analysis. |
