THE ESTATE'S ORIGINS
Lalande de Pomerol
1,130 hectares to the north of Pomerol and west of St-Emilion, spread between the plateaux of Lalande and Néac. Vines have been grown here since 20 C.E. and have developed their particular character over many years. Merlot dominates the appellation, giving round, elegant wines close in style to the prestigious neighbouring appellations.
ENSURING HIGH-QUALITY GRAPES
Preserving the soil and vines
A magnificent estate with ten plots of sandy-clay soil on deep gravel, monitored individually over time (natural and sown green cover, compost, etc.). Our gentle and physiological pruning accompanies each vine throughout its life cycle. Preserving quality today means putting the future first.
Taking time
Our innovative method – using air injection to infuse the pomace – homogenises in a gentle and effective way without mechanical intervention, resulting in extremely silky tannins. The wine is deliberately aged in new barrels to provide a discreet accompaniment to the grapes, never overpowering or masking them.
A tasting community
This vibrant expression of Merlot from the Bordeaux right bank is what enthusiasts and critics from around the world find in Château Les Hauts-Conseillants, offering instant pleasure, which is both unmistakable and generous.
