Vinification of the Cru Bourgeois Supérieur from Château La Cardonne

The grapes for the Cru Bourgeois Supérieur are carefully cultivated in the best sites of Château La Cardonne. The winery emphasizes sustainable cultivation, ensuring that the vine stocks are maintained in balance with the soil quality. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe, usually late at night or in the early morning hours, to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The harvest is done by hand, guaranteeing selection of the best grapes and meeting high-quality standards. The vinification begins with gentle crushing to optimize the extraction of color and aromas. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to precisely preserve fruit and spice notes. The must remains in contact with the skins for several weeks, strengthening the tannin structure and increasing complexity. The maturation occurs in barriques, mostly made from French oak. During barrel aging, the wine develops fine wood notes and achieves a harmonious balance between fruit and oak. After at least 12 months of maturation, the wine is carefully filtered and bottled. This process forms the basis for the elegant structure and expressive aromas of the Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, making it a delightful beverage produced with great care and expertise.
