CHATEAU HAUT PEYCHEZ

The vineyard of Château HAUT PEYCHEZ is located in the heart of the appellation, in the commune of FRONSAC. this family vineyard (4 HA) for several generations (1853) is on a limestone plateau with 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. I also make a selection in Fronsac 100% merlot harvested manually. Then comes the last born, the castle VIEUX MOULEYRE 80% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 10% cabernet sauvignon and on old vine (80 years). We practice the thinning out of leaves on both sides dices the formation of seeds and the green harvest, in order to control the returns.Fermentations are done only in cement vats with temperature control, pre-fermentation cold maceration and post-fermentation maceration of several days (depending on the year).our wines are then aged in French oak barrels for 12 months (with 10% new barrels) and then stored in our cellars after bottling for 1 to 2 years.
