Château Laville Bertrou 2023 red wine La Livinière Lot 3 Bottles 75cl

The vines benefit from a semi-arid Mediterranean climate with a temperate winter variant and the vines face due south on the heights of the village of La Livinière, between 120 and 230 metres above sea level.

The vineyard is carefully tended to obtain grapes of impeccable quality — ripe, healthy and concentrated. Planting density is high (from 5,000 to 6,500 vines per hectare) for the most recent plantings. The vines are trained on high trellises to ensure large leaf surfaces, and yields are kept under control (below 45 hl/ha). The grapes are harvested by hand at perfect ripeness and transported to the winery in harvest bins. The different grape varieties are then vinified separately, so as to respect their individual characteristics and the potential of each terroir. The Carignan and the Syrah are vatted as whole bunches and vinified by carbonic maceration for 15 days. The end of alcoholic fermentation takes place at low temperature. The Grenache is destemmed and its maceration period reaches 3 weeks. The wines are racked at the end of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, blended and then placed in 225-litre Bordeaux barrels for an ageing period of 10 to 12 months.
