Château Grand Tuillac Elegance, Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux

Chateau Grand Tuillac Elegance is round, fruity (black and red berries) with elegant spicy notes. A wine that lasts in the mouth. Fruit aromas are coming back after sip. Very pleasant !

The harvest is carried out using state-of-the-art equipment. The machine harvests only ripe grapes by vibration of the vine stock. A first sorting is carried out by this same machine thanks to a system of calibration and ejection of the undesirable parts by blower. A passage on a vibrating table with manual sorting is practiced. Then comes the sorting by densimetry in order to keep only the healthy grapes and at the right maturity. They are then transported to the tank. We practice a pre-fermentation cold maceration of 72 hours, in order to extract a beautiful colour and a maximum of aromatic precursors. Then comes the alcoholic fermentation (10 days) and finally a maceration under marc for 30 days which will give the wine all its tannic structure and reveal the qualities of the vintage.

15 months of aging followed by an assembly by the family and our oenologist: 60% in new French oak barrels, 30% in French oak barrels of one or two wines and 10% in concrete tanks. Bottling at the Château.
