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
All winemaking choices have been made with the aim of best expressing the rich palette of these old Merlots. Vinification is carried out in stainless-steel tanks according to the traditional method, favouring gentle extraction of aromas and tannins. Ageing takes place without oak, so as to preserve the fruity aromas.
