Vinification of Famille Saby Château Bertin Lussac Saint-Émilion

The basis for the powerful Château Bertin Lussac Saint-Émilion from Bordeaux is grapes of the Merlot variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Bordeaux. Here the vines sink their roots deep into sandy soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn off.
