Vinification of the Grand Cru Classé from Château Saint-Pierre

The balanced Grand Cru Classé from France is a cuvée vinified from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Grand Cru Classé is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this French wine exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After vinification, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
