The winegrowing estate comprises 14 hectares of vines primarily planted in slopes with clay and clay-limestone. This diverse terroir is conducive to the production of various blends characteristic of Château La Tuilière.
The grape varieties are representative of the Bordeaux Right Bank: Merlot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. The vines are grown using sustainable viticulture ('Terra Vitis' High Environmental Value label).
Quality being of prime importance, vine density varies to control production quality and quantity.
The semi-underground cellar (a distinguishing feature of this appellation) provides natural temperature regulation.
The ‘La Dame de La Tuilière' cuvée is fermented using the 'integral vinification' process, which requires a certain amount of expertise to produce a highly distinguished wine.
The 5 cuvees are aged in respect of the quality of the harvest, the vintage and changes in consumer trends.
However, the evolution in consumer trends has increasingly led to wines being aged in temperature-controlled vats, using oak with a constant, regular oxygen supply. This maintains the phenolic properties, wonderful tannins and light, complex structure characteristic of easy-drinking wines.
Then is the moment when we, as estate owners, have a final say in creating a wine which we hope you will enjoy!
