The Vineyard The estate spreads over 13 hectares (32 acres) and three villages: Landiras, Fargues de Langon and Pujols sur Ciron. The vineyard is planted to 8 hectares (19.8 acres) of red grapes (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon), 5 hectares (12.3 acres) of white grapes (Semillon, Sauvignon and Muscadelle), of which just over 1 ha is dedicated to the production of Sauternes. The vineyard is farmed under the culture raisonnée method. The soil is a mixture of gravel, limestone and sand. The method of pruning used here is double cordon, which makes it easier to control the yields. The 15-year-old vines are harvested by hand. The wine matures in stainless steel tanks and the Graves rouge is aged in oak barrels for 8 months. The wines |
