This cuvée is truly the Château Saint Louis “Tradition” cuvée, expressive, harmonious and gourmand. It is made from a blend of 70% Pinot Saint Georges (Négrette), 20% Cabernet Franc, 5% Gamay and 5% Syrah. The classic winemaking of this cuvée begins with long maceration with delestage. Each grape variety is vinified separately with selected yeast and temperature control. The sulfite added is exceedingly low, so that the total does not exceed 50 ppm. No other allergens are added, nor collage. The wine is aged for 40% in oak barrels and 60% in vats for 12 months.
