The vines for this wine are located in the small region of Léogats adjacent to the Sauternes perimeter. The two plots of land are situated on the summit of a hillside and the earth is gravel. 2005 The sunny summer of 2005 permitted us to harvest perfectly healthy grapes at perfect maturity and of airreprocheable health. The colour is a deep red with a powerful palate revealing black currents and steamed prunes. This wine has a tannic structure that fortells a great future.   TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS SURFACE 1 hectare SOIL TYPES 100% gravels VINE TYPE 100% Merlot AVERAGE VINEYARD AGE 10 years CULTIVATION METHOD Classical, "la lutte raisonnée" AVERAGE OUTPUT 40 hectolitres per hectare (average of the last 10 years) PLANTATION DENSITY 6000 WINE MAKING PROCESS Cold pre-fermentation maceration for one week, cap punching during alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation in barrels.
