Château de Chainchon, Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux “Organic”

The Château de Chainchon (24 hectares) belongs to the same family since 1846.
Sitting on the hillside surrounded by it’s 24 hectares of vines, this beautiful XVIIIe century house overlooks the valley of the river Dordogne
in the south of the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. The soils are sandy clay at the bottom of the hills and clay-limestone
on the slopes and hill tops. This variety of soils enables us to make wines which are supple and fruity to drink young and also wines which are powerful
and tannic for keeping.
Chateau de Chainchon does organic farming and is certified “Ecocert”.

Description

Château de Chainchon

Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux

 

Varietal: 100% Merlot Organic

Wine Making: Prestige comes from a plot of 4 hectares situated on the top of the hill and producing low yields (40 hl/ha). After macerations of about 30 days at 25 ° under micro oxygenation, the wine is then aged for 12 months in 4, 5 and 6 year old barrels. The wine is then put back into a vat for six months to finish it’s ageing before being bottled by the winery.

Tasting Notes:

Nose – Toasted and defined by red fruit that we also find in the mouth

Mouth –  A final taste of well-balanced tannins. The overall impression is of strength with a very long and fruity finish.

It will keep, bottles stocked lying down, for around 10 years.
