Cabaleyran

This parcel of 52 and 34-year old cabernet sauvignon vines is perfectly situated on the top of a gravel hill with a deep clay and limestone base, typical of the best parcels which run along the left bank of the Garonne river. Located immediately north of Saint Estephe, this parcel is adjacent to those owned by Sociando Mallet. The average density of 9000 vines per hectare planted on 3309 and 420A rootstock ensures excellent canopy management and strong competition for water and nutrients. This yields a concentrated cabernet sauvignon producing dark-colored wines with a strong tannin base, whose aroma and flavor emphasize long-lasting dark fruit and mineral components. If you want your Medoc-based cabernet to emphasize more 'manliness', this is your parcel of choice.
