Vinification of the Bordeaux Haut-Médoc AOC 1.0 l from Château Fontesteau Médoc

The vinification of the Bordeaux Haut-Médoc AOC 1.0 l begins in the vineyard, where the grapes are cultivated with the greatest care and passion. The vines grow in a terroir characterized by deep, gravelly soils. This allows optimal drainage and promotes aromatic grapes.

1. Harvesting is done by hand in order to select only the best grapes. Care is taken to ensure that only fully ripe and high-quality grapes reach the winery.

2. After selection, the grapes are gently destemmed and pressed. The must is then filled into temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for fermentation, in order to optimally preserve the fruit aromas.

Fermentation takes place in a controlled range to preserve the aromas and gently extract the tannins. The wine then matures in barriques made of French oak, which lend it fine woody notes and additional volume. The time in the barrel allows the wine to develop its structure and unfold complex aromas. After the maturation process, bottling takes place without filtration, in order to preserve the purity and authenticity of the wine.
