OUR HISTORIC AND EMBLEMATIC CUVEE

Château Haut-Chaigneau* is made from a careful blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from different types of terroir, all planted on molasse but more or less gravelly with the presence of "iron dross" typical of the appellation.

The quality of the terroirs exploited, the balance of the blend associated with careful vinification and aging, allow the production of a wine notably recognized for its finesse and elegance and its superb development during aging in the bottle.

*from “Haut” because it is located on the highest point of the “Chaigneau” or “Chagneau” plateau, old French derived from the Latin “Castanea” meaning the presence of an oak (or chestnut) forest in the Middle Ages at this location.

Age of vines: Over 40 years old

VARIETY: 15% Cabernet franc, 85% Merlot

Degree: 14.0

Winemaking and aging

Vintage produced using agro-synergy.

Traditional and particularly careful vinification. Moderate barrel aging (25% new wood) to achieve a perfect balance between expressive aromas, silky tannins and easy tasting.

Geology

Silico-clayey soil with iron deposits, shaped and drained plots.

Tasting

"Intense nose of blackberry and blueberry that introduces a powerful and lively palate with enveloping and very refreshing tannins. The opulent sweetness is counterbalanced by an energy
subtle comes from the great complexity of Merlot associated with Cabernet Franc." Pascal Chatonnet
