The Producer
Located in the heart of the Entre-deux Mers, Château Sainte-Marie benefits from an optimal geographical location. The ideally exposed plots stretch across two perfectly sunlit hills, among the highest points in the Gironde.
Old Vines with controlled yields, including a plot of Sémillon and Merlot over 100 years old, guarantee the excellence of an increasingly qualitative production.
The great diversity of terroir brought together at Château Sainte-Marie is an essential characteristic found in the typicity, authenticity, and expression of our wines. The richness of our terroirs offers a selection worthy of the greatest wines. Our quest for authenticity has led us to go beyond the geographical limits of the estate to select plots located several kilometers apart. This selection, based on a rigorous geological study, brings together terroirs of great complementarity.
The Wine
Vinification: Parcel vinification, where the grapes are sorted by density and then placed in stainless steel tanks for fermentation. This fermentation, conducted at a controlled temperature, helps preserve the primary fruit aromas. Following this is a maceration period of 3 to 5 weeks, with a light extraction aimed at obtaining soft tannins and an intense color.
Aging: In stainless steel tank for 10 months.
Tasting
Deep red color and seductive aromas of dark fruits and spices. On the palate, silky tannins and bright acidity provide a velvety texture with a lingering finish.
