Vineyard

The vineyards are situated on the gravel plateau of Pauillac with deep Garonne gravel and underlying limestone. This ensures excellent drainage and deep root development. Biodynamic farming promotes biodiversity, soil biology, and low yields. 2015 saw a warm, dry growing season with ideal ripeness and healthy grapes until harvest.

Vinification

Vinification takes place plot by plot, with separate fermentation in concrete, stainless steel, and partly wooden vats. Maceration is relatively long (up to ±3–4 weeks) to extract structure and color. Since the biodynamic conversion, a portion of the wine is also aged in amphorae for micro-oxidation and texture refinement. Aging occurs for ±16–18 months in French oak, with approximately 50% new barrels. The goal is a combination of classic Pauillac structure with more softness and precision.
