The fruit for our First Growth was fermented in a 9T closed-static-fermenter for 41 days (fermentation lasting 13 days before the parcels were topped and sealed for a further 28 days). This extended maceration encourages tannin structure and increases ageing potential. After time on skins the wine was pressed to 75% new oak barriques sourced from renowned cooperages Taransaud and Seguin Moreau. The wine was then matured in oak for 16 months to create fine grained tannins and produce a tightly structured wine with the potential to improve with correct cellaring in excess of 20 years.?
