Ratings & Reviews

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. The vines of Reynier grow on this unique limestone subsoil. Nowadays, the cave is used to age the fine red wines in oak barrels. Sustainable agriculture. Integrated crop management enabling healthy grapes without destabilizing biological balance of the vineyard. Certified by The Vegan Society and HVE (meaning “high environmental value”).

Vinification

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot. Rigorous selection during the harvest (grape variety and plots are vinified separately). The vinification is carried out with the most recent techniques. Classic Bordeaux vinification: total de-stemming, temperature of fermentation 77°F to 86°F. 2 to 3 weeks of maceration, 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.

Aging

12 months aged in limestone caves 50 % new and 50 % one year, French and American oak barrel
