Chateau du Breuil Haut Medoc

Established in the 6th century, the Baronnie du Breuil is the oldest vineyard in the Médoc region. Clay and limestone predominate in the vineyards, which have an average vine age of over 20 years, and are managed with inter-row grass cover to best manage yield and quality. The blend is 54% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot; vinification is carried out in small tanks, allowing small plots to be worked upon separately. After a cool fermentation, the wine is aged for about a year in a mixture of French and American oak barrels, of which 10% are new. Recognised as a cru bourgeois in 1932, its status was confirmed in 2003.

This historic estate produces a wine of dark brick red hue, offering aromas of fresh dark berries, vanilla, and subtle oak.

On the palate, Merlot lends body and freshness, Cabernet Sauvignon adds cedar and cassis notes, and Petit Verdot enhances complexity and structure, culminating in an elegant, refined finish.

Perfect with roasted meats or hard cheeses.
