Description:
The vinification of the Grand Cru St. Emilion from Chateau Destieux follows a traditional method that guarantees the highest quality. The grapes come from carefully tended vineyards that are cultivated according to ecological principles. These serve as an excellent foundation for the grapes and contribute to the balance and intensity of the wine.
The harvest is done by hand, with only the best grapes being selected. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel containers. This method allows precise control of the fermentation processes and promotes the development of complex aromas. After fermentation, the wine matures in French oak barrels, which imparts additional depth and character to it.
The aging period typically lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage and desired flavor profile. This meticulous vinification allows the Grand Cru St. Emilion from Chateau Destieux to bloom into a true masterpiece that reflects the elegant style of St. Emilion in every bottle.
