The vineyards of this château are located to the west of the village of Cantenac. Proprietor Henri Lurton has improved the quality in the vines, regrafting previously planted Merlot to high quality Cabernet Sauvignon.
Almost opaque in colour, the bouquet is rich in black fruits with overtones of cedar wood. The palate is finely integrated, despite very firm tannins, and shows a quite astonishing complexity.
Modern vinification techniques including temperature-controlled fermentation and pumping-over have been applied. The wine is aged in barrels for 16-20 months before bottling.
