Vinification of Château Fontesteau Médoc Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc

This balanced red wine from France is vinified from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Bordeaux. Here the vines sink their roots deep into limestone soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
