Two terroirs, two expressions of Bordeaux
The estate stands out for a harmonious distribution between red, rose and white wines, each drawing its personality from the soil and the grape:
36 hectares of Bordeaux red and rose, mostly Merlot, completed with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
14 hectares of Bordeaux white, dominated by Sauvignon, accompanied by Semillon and Muscadelle.
The clay-limestone soils host the reds, guarantors of structure and depth, while the silty soils shelter the white grapes, synonymous with freshness and liveliness.
Winemaking: tradition and mastery
The cellar of Chateau Motte Maucourt, with a capacity of 6,000 hectolitres, combines traditional know-how and modern technology. Each cuvee is vinified separately to preserve the identity of each plot and the aromatic purity of the grape.
Reds: fermentation at 25-28 °C, macerations of 2 to 3 weeks for silky tannins and a fine coloured extraction.
Roses and whites: quick bottling, 2 to 3 months after harvest, to preserve their freshness and fruity aromas.
Ageworthy reds: ageing of 15 to 18 months in vats or barrels, for more roundness and complexity before bottling.
