Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé
The three properties
of the Reiffers family (Clos St. Martin, Les Grandes Murailles en Côte de
Baleau) were sold to Ch. Clos Fourtet in 2013. However, the ex-director and ex
co-owner Sophie Foucade bought this cru back afterwards. It concerned a mini
cru of 1.5ha perfectly situated (regarding exposition sun) on a ridge between Ch.
Beauséjour Bécot and Ch. Beauséjour Duffau Lagarrosse. Because of the small
production, the alcoholic and the second fermentation are vinified fully in
small oak barrels with the entire berries. This complete vinification requires
more hours of manual work (turning the barrels 3 times a day) but gives a
rounder, more fine and fruity wine where the wood is more integrated. Michel
Rolland gives the advice.
