Vineyard & Winemaking Notes

The grapes are from a 29 acre vineyard with 30-year-old-vines from a satellite appellation of Saint-Emilion, located between Pomerol and Saint-Emilion Plateau. In the time honored tradition of Bordeaux, fermentation and aging take place in concrete containers, considered to be a more natural environment for wine.
