Les Hauts de Chambrun 2019 Lalande de Pomerol 75cl
The Chambrun property was created between the wars by the Chollet family. It was then known under the name “Clos de Chambrun”. The name “Chambrun” would come from the main plot of the vineyard then called “Champ brun”.
In 1994, Jean-Philippe Janoueix bought the 1,70 hectare plot and renamed the property “Château de Chambrun”.
In May 2007, Silvio Denz, a famous Swiss businessman, bought Chambrun and expanded it with a selection of quality plots covering an area of 5,14 hectares.
In September 2015, Château Moncets, an important property of the AOC Lalande de Pomerol, acquired the Chambrun vineyard. At the same time, a little more than 3 hectares of quality Merlot were purchased to bring the Chambrun vineyard to 8,84 hectares.
In 2019, 5 hectares of the famous Néac plateau were purchased and thus completed the fragmented establishment of this dynamic 13,84 hectare vineyard.
Grape varieties: 83% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc
Château du Taillan has been a family property since 1896, but today it is above all a modern story, told by women. Five sisters hold the reins of the Château located at the gates of Bordeaux and the Médoc. Each with their own personality, they write the history of the property and perpetuate this passion for viticulture and this historical heritage. It is under this feminine aura that Château du Taillan has been able to renew itself over time.
Grapes: 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc.
In 2000, under the guidance of an internationally renowned oenologist, the cellars of the Petit Puch castle have been completely rebuilt with a view to optimal quality research.
The raisin is defined by plot at the best possible maturity, avoiding over-maturation which is detrimental to the finesse of the aromas.
It is loaded into the vats respecting the topography of these plots in order to allow good traceability, a guarantee of long-lasting quality.
The fermentation tanks are made of stainless steel, small capacity and thermo-regulated. The alcoholic fermentation is done in open vats, under temperature control, with punching down morning and evening. The pigeage is a manual mixing of the marc and the must which allows the smoothest extraction of the tannins, the fruit and the aromas of the grape.
After the alcoholic fermentation the wine is withdrawn and the marc pressed. The Château du Petit Puch uses a small vertical cage press which limits astringency and the herbaceous taste gives high quality press wines. They will then serve to assemble the final vintages.
During the alcoholic fermentation which is the transformation of natural sugar into alcohol, it was necessary to prevent the temperature from rising too high so as not to destroy the natural fermentation yeasts.
Conversely, the second fermentation, the malolactic which is a natural biological deacidification of wine must be conducted under a minimum temperature. It is conducted in vats and gives the new wine its mellow and fleshy.
After one or more rackings to remove the lees, the wine is barreled, ie put into barrels during the winter. It stays twelve months in oak barrels renewed by thirds to be finally blended and prepared for bottling.
The cellars of the Petit Puch castle, housed in buildings from the 14th and 15th century incorporate the most advanced oenological techniques and are subject to a drastic hygiene control.
It is this quality chain managed by a passionate team that produces a powerful wine, well balanced, velvety and long in the mouth, a pleasure to taste.
