In the Cellar
In the silence of the cellars, the Château Escalette team “produces a wine whose reputation has been established for years”, “a fine and generous wine” as written by Cocks & Féret in their work which is still a reference today, Bordeaux and Its Wines Classified in Order of merit (1868). They classified Château Escalette as a “Premier Bourgeois”, their highest category for Right Bank wines.
Custom-Made
Each batch is vinified and aged separately according to its plot origin and typicity.
The most critical work is done in the vineyard so that the grapes that arrive in the cellar are healthy and at optimal maturity. The berries are then destemmed and carefully sorted to keep only the best of the harvest. Gentle extraction is best to stabilize the aromas and preserve freshness.
« During vinification, we aim to reveal the terroir's aromas with limited interventions, thus preserving the natural essence of the grape. We strive to create a rich and elegant wine, with silky tannins and fruit preserved throughout the aging process. A great wine that knows how to assert itself. »
