Winemaking

At Château des Annereaux, each vintage is different, and the work in the cellar adapts to reveal its character while preserving the identity of the terroir. Winemaking relies on close observation and gentle extraction, to keep the purity of the fruit and the finesse of the tannins. Merlot, the estate's main grape variety, is at the heart of the wines, bringing roundness, finesse and aromatic depth.

The approach is measured and precise, without systematic intervention, with the aim of making wines that are elegant, silky and balanced.

Ageing

The Lalande-de-Pomerol is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 25% of which are renewed each year, and in a large 50-hectolitre wooden vat (foudre). This combination allows a gradual maturation that keeps fruit and structure in balance, while preserving the expression of Merlot and the estate's other grape varieties. Les Annereaux, the Bordeaux red, is aged in vats, without oak.

From the vineyard to bottling, each stage serves the same aim: refined wines that remain true to the estate.
