Viticulture

Integrated crop management enables healthy grapes without destabilizing the biological balance of the vineyard. Rigorous selection during the harvest (grape variety and plots are vinified separately). The grapes are selected from the oldest vines growing on the best “terroirs.” The grapes are harvested by hand from mid-September to mid-October.

Farming

Certified Organic

Terroir

Limestone and clay with asteria limestone subsoil

Vineyard

The vineyard is located on the heights of Entre-deux-mers, 10 km from Saint Emilion. A cavernous underground cave network weaves far and wide beneath the vineyards of Reynier, with a mysterious, elusive history of its own. Average vine age: 40 years

Vinification

Classic Bordeaux vinification. Total de-stemming and fermentation in concrete and oak vessels. Fermentation temperatures around 77°F to 86°F, 2-3 weeks of macerations, and malolactic fermentation. Low sulfites: less than half of the maximum allowed in Bordeaux. This wine is 70 mg/l instead of the 150 mg/l that is permitted.
Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon / 40% Merlot

Aging

Aged 18 months in Chateau Reynier's limestone caves in new French oak. Minimum bottle aging of 3 years.
