Terroir and Vineyard Excellence
The vineyard benefits from classic Margaux terroir, dominated by gravel soils that provide excellent drainage and encourage deep root development. This natural environment enhances grape concentration and complexity. Vine density reaches an impressive 10,000 vines per hectare, ensuring low yields and high-quality fruit. The vines, with an average age of 15 years, are carefully maintained through sustainable viticulture practices. In addition, rigorous ripeness monitoring, both analytical and sensory, ensures that every harvest is picked at optimal maturity. Harvesting is carried out manually, allowing for precise selection of the best grapes.
Winemaking Process and Craftsmanship
Chateau Soussans Margaux is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. After manual harvesting, grapes undergo careful plot-by-plot selection and total destemming. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled cement and stainless steel vats at an average of 28°C, ensuring optimal extraction of aromas and tannins. The must is gently managed with two pump-overs per day to enhance structure and color. Long vatting further refines the wine’s depth and complexity, resulting in a harmonious and expressive profile.
Aging and Flavor Profile
The wine is matured for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels, with 30% new oak introduced annually to enhance complexity without overpowering the fruit. Multiple rackings and fining sessions are conducted after regular tastings to ensure purity and balance. The final wine reveals layers of ripe blackcurrant, plum, subtle spice, and elegant oak integration. On the palate, smooth yet structured, offering fine tannins and a long, refined finish typical of great Margaux wines.
Perfect Pairing and Availability
Chateau Soussans Margaux pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, roasted lamb, duck, and mature cheeses. Thus making it an excellent choice for fine dining occasions or special celebrations. Its elegance and depth also make it suitable for aging in the cellar, where it will continue to evolve gracefully over time.
