Gift Set Château de Villemajou Grand Vin

Villemajou takes its name from "Villa Major": the Roman villa that owes its reputation to the Latin poet Apollinaris. Acquired by Georges Bertrand in 1973, it is the family estate, the place where Gérard learned the craft of winemaking from his father. The Boutenac cru is characterised by a hilly landscape and deep, rounded pebble soils that allow the old Carignan vines to withstand the arid and windy climate of this terroir.

White: The hand-harvested grapes undergo pneumatic pressing with press separation upon arrival at the winery. The entire juice undergoes alcoholic fermentation in new French oak barrels (temperature control preserves the freshness and integrity of the aromas). Barrel ageing lasts between 7 and 8 months until the spring equinox, with regular lees stirring.

Red: The remarkable quality of this cuvée lies in the exceptional quality of the old Carignan and Syrah vines. Harvesting is done by hand and begins when the berries reach optimal ripeness. Some of the Syrah and Carignan are vinified using whole-bunch maceration. A traditional maceration is carried out on the other grape varieties. The wines are blended after malolactic fermentation and then placed in 225-litre Bordeaux barrels in our winery for 12 months of ageing. The wine is then kept for a further 12 months before being released for sale.
