CHÂTEAU VIRAMIÈRE BORDEAUX, FRANCE

Situated on the southern slope of Saint-Emilion at the foot of the coast, in the parish of Saint-Etienne de Lisse. The estate is 35 acres composed of ancient sands, sandy-clay and clay-limestone soils. This is classic Grand Cru Saint Emilion: mainly Merlot with a little Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon for brightness and structure. The grapes are moved via gravity. The wines are fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Maceration for 10 days. Aged in vats and oak barrels. Fining and filtration before bottling.

Château Viramiere has been a cherished family domain for six generations.
