The Clos Saint-Vincent is a lovely blend of primarily Merlot along with Cabernet Franc and a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon from a 17 hectares property with gravely soils, where some of the vines more that 60 years old.

Some of the plots are harvested manually. The grapes are then meticulously sorted on their arrival at the winery. Vinification is traditional with a cold prefermentation maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks; the wine is drawn off after 25 days. A proportion is then transferred to French oak barrels for 12 months. One third of the barrels are renewed each year.
