Château La Tessonniere 2016
The 18 hectare estate is situated in Civrac en Medoc on the left side of the Gironde estuary, approximately 70km north-west of Bordeaux. The estate is primarily planted with the Bordeaux varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller parcels of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The 25 year old vines are planted at a density of 6,500 vines per hectare on clay limestone ridges. These slightly oily soils constitute a balanced soil; combining the freshness and humidity of the clay with the filtering properties of the limestone. The fruit benefits from the temperate climate and the sunny exposure of the plots. The grapes are harvested when they have reached optimum maturity levels, following tastings and oenological analysis.
