Château de Coudot Cru Artisan – Haut Médoc
The wine is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, this may vary slightly depending on the vintage. The 30 year old vines produce an average yield of 45 hl/ha. The winemaking is classic, after the sorting the grapes are destemmed, each grape variety will be fermented separately in concrete vats of various sizes from 50 to 165 hectolitres depending on the parcel’s size. The Fermentations last 4 to 5 weeks at 28°C. The wine is aged in french oak barrels for 12 months with 1/3 of new oak each year.

PVins notes: Dark red in colour, expressive characteristic of ripe red fruit with hints of vanilla, dense and generous, well structured, slightly spicy on the palate, well intergraded oak with soft tannins on the finish. The wine may be cellared for up to 10 years depending on the vintage.
