Wine Insight :
Located in Barsac, about thirty kilometres southeast of Bordeaux, Château Massereau dominates the landscape with its three towers and the rows of vines that descend to Ciron. The estate was acquired in 2000 by the Chaigneau family, and extends over 19 hectares of which only 10 hectares are planted for production. The vineyard has never seen the intensified industrialised production that has hit the rest of the appellation. The Family have decided to farm the vineyard as naturally as possible and there are no chemicals used or additives in the wines.
Graves 2011. Age of vines: 50-60 years 40% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Merlot 20% Cabernet Franc 10% Petit Verdot. Manual harvest with meticulous sorting. Vatting 4 to 6 weeks in cement vats, pouring in mid-November.
Aromatic bouquet of juicy red plums, black cherry, raspberry, green pepper, tart cassis, menthol, rose petals and cedar undertones. Dry, full bodied, structured, high acidity, precise minerality with grained tannins. Complex, vibrant and long lasting.
