Tasting note
Spicy, alluring Bordeaux red, offering an insistent perfume of wildflower and a mouthful of blackcurrant.
Viticulture
Château Desmirail's vines, averaging 25 years, span 40 hectares on deep quaternary gravelly soil. Carried by the Garonne from the Pyrenees, the gravel forms terraces and outcrops across Cantenac, Arsac, and Soussans in the Margaux appellation.
Vinification
Vinification in oak and stainless steel vats, adapted to grape varieties. Gentle extraction with traditional techniques. Maturation in barrels for about a year, using a minimum of 30% new barrels for the Grand Vin. Racking every three months for clarification. After a year, wines are blended in wooden vats and undergo a final clarification with egg white.
Food Match
Perfect with a pheasant pie or roast dishes
