Featured is a Chateau Tourteran 2005 AOC Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois. The vines are pruned short and thinned prior to harvesting to ensure optimal maturity. Harvesting is done both manually and mechanically and the grape harvest is sorted in the cellar. The vinification is traditional and each vat is both thermo-regulated and monitored individually. The on-skin fermentation at 28°C lasts for 12 to 21 days. The wine is aged for 6 months in 4th year oak barrels.
