Biodynamic wine - preparation, Château Haut Bages Liberal, Cinqieme Grand Cru Classé, Pauillac, red, 2021

2021 was one of the best vintages of the past decade for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in the Medoc. With an unusually high 90% proportion, they set the tone at Château Haut Bages Liberal and are responsible for the great class of this organic wine. The Merlot grapes, on the other hand, were affected by mildew and had to be picked very carefully during the manual harvest. As a result, their crop yield was significantly lower than normal. Overall, the average yield fell to 40 hl/hectare.

In biodynamic viticulture and winemaking, it is common practice to mix the must spontaneously with and without the yeasts found on the grapes to ferment so-called pure yeasts or aromatic yeasts.

40% of the wine matures for 16 months in new barriques, 40% in second-occupancy barriques and 20% in amphoras and concrete.
