history
A historic Bordeaux estate that has evolved since its founding in 1802, Château Haut-Meyreau now spans over 110 hectares in the Entre-deux-Mers. It serves as both the cornerstone and a model estate for our vineyards, as well as an experimental ground where we have reintroduced polyculture principles in recent years.
Vineyard
Sourced from Château Haut-Meyreau's 110-hectare estate in Entre-Deux-Mers, this cuvée is a dedicated parcel selection of 40-year-old Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris planted on pure asteriated limestone. Managed under polyculture principles and naturally restricted to yields of 40 hl/ha, the vines achieve ideal aromatic ripeness while preserving vibrant energy. This distinctive limestone geology gives the wine its tactile density, crystalline tension, and signature saline finish.
Winemaking
Parcel selection from our plots of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris planted on asteriated limestone. Manual harvesting of both grape varieties is carried out simultaneously. After pressing the whole clusters, the musts are quickly cold-stabilized before a light settling. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place in barrels (with indigenous yeasts), lightly toasted and not new. The purpose of this barrel fermentation is to support the wine's density and to highlight its fresh, saline finish. A 10-month ageing period further enhances aromatic complexity, emphasizing dominant notes of white and yellow fruits, while rounding out the mid-palate.
Tasting notes
