Vinification of the Pomerol from Château Maillet

This powerful red wine from France is made from Cabernet Franc and Merlot grape varieties. Pomerol is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Frenchman breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. After the hand harvest, the grapes arrive at the winery by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Then fermentation takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
