Our family exploits the estate since several generations at Saint Emilion, near Bordeaux. Our vineyards covers today 14 hectares in St. Emilion, and 1.25 hectare as Saint-George-Saint-Emilion. We use essentialy 4 type of vines which are distributed in the following way: Merlot 70%, Cabernet Franc 25%, and Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.

The estate is divided into seven main fields: - two fields on argilo-limestone - four fields with Saint Emilion around the property made up of sandy grounds with iron filth. - then one field on clay located at Saint-George Saint Emilion.







The grape harvest is made during 6.5 days. Due to the fact that leaves of vines are thinned out, it is a very fast process because we have only to cut the grapes. Each field and each type of grapes are vinified separately. The Cabernet Franc are partitioned, because this type of grape is coming later than Merlot.







The vintage is placed in a vat made with a kind of cement which is porous (the wine breathes better). It is equipped with thermo-regulation, which allows controlling the temperature; each tank is equipped with flags where circulate either cold water or hot water.








Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are done in the tanks. When fermentation is finished, we select the wine which will be proposed for awarding with the label “Large-Vintage”, then we separate it in two parts, one which will age out of tank (70%) and another part which will stay in new French oak barrels (30%) during 16 month.

When the breeding is finished we re-assemble the two parts to obtain a Great homogeneous Vintage. The wine is then bottled at the estate.
