something
Our vineyard is located in the north of Entre-deux-Mers, 15 km south of St-Emilion and 8 km from Castillon la Bataille. Our Ormiale red wine is vinified and bottled at the property under the appellation of “Grand Vin de Bordeaux”. The plots cover ​​2ha and are biodynamically certified Demeter. They are located in Côtes de Castillon and Côtes de Francs: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carbernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The cellar is located in “Entre Deux Mers”, in the city of Mérignas. We harvest manually and bunches are destemmed by hand since 2010; then vatted by gravity in French oak and stainless steel vats. The harvest is not sulphited and fermentation only starts with indigenous yeasts. Vinification lasts 4 to 5 weeks depending on the vintage. Wine is pressed using an old vertical press. Our wines are aged in 225-liter, 500 and 600-liter oak barrels and in stainless steel vats for +/- 18 months. 2 to 3 withdrawals are carried out during this time. Our wines are neither fined nor filtered.
