This soil, well protected from the oceanic winds by the forest, benefits from the bracing winds from the Gironde estuary which tempers the climate. The soil's poorness, the gravel's permeability, and the slightly sloping hillsides that provide good drainage allow the vines to be deep rooted, providing the ideal conditions for top quality wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e When fully mature, the grapes are for the most part hand-picked\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grapes are crushed and destemmed, then put into fermenters.
