M. Régis Bernaleau gives this small estate the same care as his other properties Châteaux Braude and Mongravey. This vineyard is planted to 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot on gravely soil. After hand harvesting, the grapes are sorted and de-stalked before traditional fermentation in stainless thermo-regulated tanks, with skin contact for about 20 days.After malolactic fermentation, the wine spends 8 months in oak barrels, one-third of which are new.
The color is an intense, deep ruby. This has excellent Cabernet fruit, a bit of vanilla and pain grillé aromas, cassis and black fruit flavors and a long finish.The tannins are well integrated due to good amount of Merlot.If you’ve had the Château Mongravey, you know what we mean when we say “this is a big wine for the money.”
