Vinification
Vinification follows the traditional Bordeaux method in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.
Work in the vat-room (pumping over, stirring, racking) and the length of maceration are determined according to the characteristics of each vintage and above all to the style of wine sought.
Upon completion of the alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentations, several tastings are held in December before the final assembly of the premium wine with our consultants, Jacques and Eric BOISSENOT. Only two thirds of the production will be kept for the premium wine so as to give the best possible expression to the unusual combination of grape varieties at Coufran and to produce a great wine which will be among the very best in our appellation.
With a blend of at least 85% Merlot, this wine is unique in the Médoc, hence its nickname, the " Pomerol of the Médoc ".
