Bordeaux
Location
Pavillon du Lac Bordeaux red is a wine inspired by the greatest vintages of Bordeaux: sweetness, fullness of tannins and aromatic richness. For this reason, the selected vintages come from old vines of the Entre-deux-Mers region.
Terroir
To the south-east of Bordeaux, the Entre-Deux-Mers vineyard is located on the alluvial basins of the Dordogne and the Garonne rivers, offering a great diversity of soils including clay-limestone plots that are ideal for growing Merlot. For Pavillon du Lac, we have selected vines with good exposition, allowing the grapes to reach full phenolic ripeness and to express all the richness of this noble Bordeaux grape variety.
Winemaking
Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, combining modern and traditional methods. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by a 15-day maceration period at 28°C, to obtain a gentle, gradual extraction of color and tannins. This wine is not aged in oak barrels to preserve the purity of the fruit.
