In a few words ...
The art of mastering the malbec diva. This Château de Mercuès cuvée is the result of all the technical expertise devoted to our Malbecs. Its name recalls the exceptionally high density chosen for the Mercuès vineyard, 6666 vines per hectare, to concentrate aromas and achieve unrivalled finesse. The vines grow on the gravelly hilltops surrounding the château, on the third terraces of the communes of Caillac and Mercuès. Planting density is very high, at 6666 vines per hectare. This siliceous-clay terroir with its coveted Mindel soils (ancient quaternary) is ideal for growing vines, producing concentrated wines with great ageing potential. VINIFICATION & AGEING - Cold pre-fermentation maceration and long fermentation. - Aged for 15 months in 225-liter barrels, 50% of which are new. - Since 2018, 30% aged in 7hl amphoras. - 21 months in bottle before release
