Château Du Bergey, Cuvée Tradition, Aop Fronsac, Red
In the heart of the minuscule 1000 hectares Fronsac appellation tucked in between Chateaux Dalem, Haut Carles and Beausejour, and on the banks of the ambling Dordogne river this property is a real hidden jewel. The microclimate created by the rolling hills of clay and chalk situated by the mineral rich river have an effect on the Merlot grapes which gives them stunning acidity.
The story
It was apparent from an early age that Olivier Goujon was destined to be a passionate and involved winemaker… Olivier leaves wild grasses to grow among the vines for the simple reason that the blend of clay and chalk is optimum for holding water. Leaving the grass means that principally if it rains just before harvest, the grapes do not become bloated and diluted.
Vinification
Vinification in immersed marc cap. Ageing in concrete tanks in order to keep all the freshness of this 100% merlot being Fronsac's specificity.
