Subheading: Vinification of the Cru Bourgeois Supérieur - Château La Cardonne at Château La Cardonne The grapes for this noble drop grow on carefully selected vineyard plots that, thanks to their optimal location in France, provide ideal conditions for ripe and aromatic berries. The vineyard is characterized by mineral, clayey soils, which impart a complex mineral character to the grapes. The harvest is carried out precisely and by hand to bring only the fully ripe berries into the winery. Once the grapes arrive at the cellar, the delicate fermentation process begins, during which controlled temperatures promote the extraction of aromas and tannins. The must is fermented on the skins for several weeks to ensure deep fruitiness and complexity. The aging takes place in first-class barriques, which lend the wine additional depth and a harmonious wood note. After fermentation and a longer maturation period of 12 to 18 months in wooden barrels, the wine is finely tailored. During this time, the elegant aromas and soft tannin structure develop, giving the wine its velvety texture. Bottled aging before sale ensures extra harmony and its unparalleled finesse. Every step in the vinification process emphasizes the character of this great Bordeaux-like wine—a powerhouse with finesse that reflects the terroir spirit of Château La Cardonne.
