Vineyard Excellence and Sustainable Cultivation
Chateau La Foret spans 13 hectares with a planting density of 6,000 vines per hectare, ensuring optimal grape concentration. The vineyard follows sustainable viticulture practices, which means careful monitoring of vine health and grape maturity throughout the growing season. Moreover, each plot undergoes detailed ripeness control, including taste evaluation and analytical testing, to guarantee only the best fruit is harvested.
Harvesting is done mechanically at peak maturity, ensuring efficiency while maintaining grape integrity. As a result, the winery consistently produces around 100,000 bottles per year, each reflecting the precision of its vineyard management.
Traditional Winemaking with Modern Precision
The winemaking process begins with strict plot selection and full destemming. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled cement and stainless-steel vats, maintaining an average of 28°C. To further enhance extraction, two pump-overs are performed daily, ensuring optimal color, aroma, and tannin structure.
After fermentation, the wine undergoes long vatting to build depth and complexity. Careful attention continues during maturation, where the wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels. Approximately 30% of the barrels are renewed each year, adding freshness and subtle oak influence. Depending on tasting evaluations, 1 to 3 rackings are performed, followed by fining when necessary to achieve clarity and refinement.
A Refined Bordeaux Experience
The final result is a beautifully structured Bordeaux red wine dominated by 80% Merlot, complemented by 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. This blend offers ripe fruit notes, elegant tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. It pairs perfectly with red meats, roasted dishes, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
