The vineyard

The vineyards are situated on a plateau of fine gravel in the Margaux-Cantenac commune, close to the estuary. A high planting density encourages natural competition between the vines, limiting their vigor and forcing the roots deep into the soil.

Ideal combination

Meat

Meat dishes pair well with full-bodied red wines — they enhance the flavour and soften the richness.

Match

Cheese

Cheeses pair well with wine: hard cheeses with reds, soft and blue cheeses with whites and fortified wines.

Match

Winemaking

Following vinification, the wine undergoes ageing for one year in oak barrels, followed by a second year of refinement in large wooden foudres to polish its structure and bring balance.
