The Terroir
The Le Pottier Vineyards: where soil, grapes and climate combine to produce authentic wines.
Grape varieties
Our 31.5 hectares of vineyard are planted with local grape varieties :
- Merlot 60 %
- Cabernet sauvignon 30 %
- Cabernet franc 10%
Vinification
Modern winery with stainless steel vats and temperature control. 3 to 5 week vatting period using micro-oxygenation to develop suppleness and roundness. Our Prestige wine is aged in oak barrels for up to one year.
Tasting
Our red wine: a beautiful, very dark burgundy colour, with the great vintages being almost black. Fruit notes on the nose and a good, balanced tannin structure in the mouth. This is a wine that can be drunk immediately or left to mature for several years in the cellar.
Our rosé wine: a round, fruity wine to be drunk within 2 years.
0 years have passed since the redevelopment of the vineyard. Today the Le Pottier vineyards are proud to perpetuate the wine-making traditions of Bordeaux in order to bring you quality wines and an environmentally friendly approach.
