AGEING IN THE AGE-OLD WAY

All the estate's wines are barrel-aged in the traditional way for 18 to 20 months.

Every three months the barrels are carefully racked to remove the lees and placed “bung on the side”.

Château Léoville Poyferré and Château Moulin Riche are fined with egg white in the barrel, whereas the Pavillon de Poyferré is fined in vats.

The three wines are bottled on the property at the end of spring.

The bottles are left to rest for four months, and after a quality-control check and labelling, can be shipped to our customers.
