Winemaker's philosophy

Stephane works hard to sustain and cultivate the old vines growing in his vineyard. These elder vines add maturity and character to every harvest. No synthetic fertilizers or weed killers are used to cut corners and the natural equilibrium of the terroir is encouraged.

Varietal

Made from 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot, it has been aged in new barrels for 14 months. The 2012 vintage is from a notably wet and cool year. While it required significant expertise to manage the quality of the wine under these conditions, these factors add to the wine’s flavors. The result is a smooth wine with a modest sensibility due to light tannins.

Terroir

The grapes are grown from old vines in the Médrac, part of the Grand Poujeaux hill. This location is well known for its “Gunz Graves”, which provide ideal deep soil and filtration. There are 3640 vines per acre.

The old vines of our Haut-Médoc are located on the Grand Poujeaux mound in Moulis, the highest point in Medoc. This location is well known for a soil that consists of rare Gunz stones. Our particular property dates as far back as 1546.
