Château Vieux Plantier

TRADITION

A wine crafted from a blend of the three iconic Bordeaux grape varieties: the Merlot (65%), the Cabernet Sauvignon(30%) and the Malbec (5%).
Vinification is performed in stainless steel vats after a cold, pre-fermentation maceration to preserve all the aromas of the ripe fruit.
Vatting lasts two to three weeks depending on the vintage. This type of wine is to be appreciated for its remarkable finesse offering all the original taste of the grapes.
