The remarkable quality of this vintage lies in the quality exceptional grapes. In fact, the property has old vines aged 80 years for Carignan and 30 years for Syrah. Yield control, 25hl/ha, is carried out using green harvests to homogenize the load of each vine, and thus obtaining a “grouped” maturation of the bunches. The harvest are manual according to tradition and the wines are then put into 225-litre Bordeaux barrels in our cellar for a period of of approximately 10 to 12 months. They are neither fined nor filtered before being put into bottle and the vials are then kept for 12 months before being marketed.

Featuring a deep garnet color, the Château de Villemajou reveals notes of toasted bread, licorice and cloves and offers powerful and elegant fruit aromas stewed, sweet spices, leather and roasting.
