WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Soussans Margaux is a refined expression of the prestigious Margaux appellation. Produced from vineyards with an average age of 30 years, the wine is crafted from a blend of 50% Merlot, 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Carmenere. The vineyard, characterized by gravelly soil with a clay-limestone subsoil, benefits from a dense planting of 8,000 to 10,000 vines per hectare. Meticulous vineyard practices include manual leaf thinning and mechanical soil management. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, with daily observation and tasting to ensure optimal ripeness. The winemaking process involves gentle extraction without pumping over, a maceration period of 3 to 6 weeks, and malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant profile. Château Soussans Margaux is distinguished by its rich flavors, balanced structure, and a sophisticated finish, embodying the excellence of the Margaux terroir.
