Region:
France
Description:
The château produces red and white blends using the seven Bordeaux grape varieties, farmed under biodynamic principles – with a little technological assistance. The grapes, for example, are monitored by satellite image to tell the team when, precisely, they should be hand-harvested. Said grapes are then picked in batches according to each plot’s progress rather than one set date being imposed on the whole. On their way back to the winery, the grapes are covered in ergonomic hoods – designed by Daniel and inspired by Himalayan Sherpas – for protection against the elements. Its own cooperage means the team can control oak impact down to the minutest degree.
