Château Cormeil-Figeac, Saint Emilion Grand Cru, red, organic wine processing

For this Grand Cru Saint-Emilion, the grapes are harvested and selected by hand from the oldest vines at Château Cormeil-Figeac. They ferment in the mash for 3 weeks. The young wine then matures in barriques of the 2nd and 3rd occupancy so that its fruity scent and taste components do not come to the fore due to the influence of the barrique (wood and smoke), but rather remain discreetly in the background. During its stay in the barrique, it is decanted several times, each time separating the wine from the solids.
