Chateau La Valiere 2020 75cl

Producer: The vineyard of Château La Valière belongs to the very ancient Castillon vineyard of Médoc, former name of Saint Christoly de Médoc. In 2011, we took over with our family this estate located on the banks of Gironde, just 3 km from La Tour de By. We know this vineyard well, our Grandfather Marc Pagès having selected it on his return from Tunisia to install the son of his friend and partner. Nearly 40 years later, the Cailloux family no longer wished to continue its operation, they offered us to take over this magnificent property so that the story could continue.

The soil is made up of deep gravel, this poor and perfectly drained soil requires suffering and effort by the vine to create rare aromas. Soil cultivation is fully mechanical with one row out of two grassed. We use natural compost. We practice an environmentally friendly vineyard culture in La Valière, as on our La Tour de By property.
