2022 is undoubtedly a great vintage in Bordeaux, but it's also an exceptional one for the centenary of our château: new, unique micro-vintages made from a single grape variety are being created to mark the centenary of the château.

This 100% Malbec expresses the power and the indomitable character of this grape variety.

The 2022 vintage is a special one, one that counts and will count. Our vines have shown incredible resilience in the face of record drought and high temperatures, producing dense, concentrated, fresh and fruity red wines. This surprising vintage could well surpass previous ones and leave an indelible mark on the history of our vineyards.

Area under vine: 21 hectares
Grape varieties: 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec
Location: In the heart of the Montagne Saint-Emilion appellation

Manual pruning in winter on hillside plots and later on other plots to delay budburst and the onset of frost. Vine shoots crushed and reused as compost for the soil. Controlled yields. Mechanical harvesting.

The harvest took place in mid-September for 3 weeks, allowing us to manage the work in the vineyard and cellar perfectly. The harvest was of very good quality and the yields very satisfactory, once again demonstrating the adaptability of our vines and our terroir to climate change.

Traditional fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats combined with micro-oxygenation. Alcoholic fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation. Daily pumping over and punching of the cap.

14 months in concrete vats.
