The château
The name recalls a mill that once stood here and the Chevalier Larose, who in the 18th century owned the great growth next door, Château
The vines grow on homogeneous Garonne gravel, 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, planted at 9,000 to the hectare and 30 years old on average. The soil is plowed and the vines pruned hard; the grapes are picked by hand and sorted in the vineyard, crushed and left about 3 weeks on the skins in 5 temperature-controlled steel vats. The wine then spends 20 months in French oak barrels, racked every 3 months and fined in its second winter.
