Features

A few steps away from the windmill itself, and separated from the la Roche parcel by a small road, the Clos du grand Carquelin faces a little bit more towards the south and offers a soil of medium depth and richness.

Vinification

Picked and sorted by hand, then mainly de-stemmed, the grapes macerate slowly over the course of three or four weeks. Indigenous yeasts are used throughout the fermentation period, and extraction by means of both plunging and pumping over takes place on a regular basis.

Winemaking and bottling

The wines are aged in our historic cellar for 10 months, a period spent in oak barrels, both old and new. The oak used to make the barrels comes from the forests of Alliers, the Limousin and the Nivernais.

Tasting / Food pairing

The Clos du Grand Carquelin is a particularly complex, delicate and elegant wine. It expresses itself best when allowed to unfold in the glass, and is the perfect match for delicately flavoured dishes.

Preservation

The wine needs two or three years to reach its harmony, and can then age comfortably for several decades.
