Vinification of Bordeaux Saint-Émlilion AOP by Barton & Guestier The grapes of this exceptional Bordeaux come from the best sites in Saint-Émlilion AOP, where the climate is characterized by mild days and cool nights. This promotes optimal ripening and ensures a balanced development of fruit. The soil, rich in limestone and clay, gives the wine its distinctive minerality and depth. The harvest is carried out by hand, guaranteeing a gentle selection of the best grapes. After delivery, the grape bunches are carefully sorted before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The fermentation lasts approximately 10 to 14 days, allowing for harmonious extraction of the typical Bordeaux tannins. Subsequently, the wine matures for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, of which about 40% are new barrels. This aging process imparts a complex oak note and consolidates its structure. The combination of fruit and fine wood nuances gives the Bordeaux Saint-Émlilion an elegant and long-lasting quality. 1. Grapes from privileged vineyards 2. Hand-selected for the best quality 3.
