2011 Château Liversan, Bordeaux, France, Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois

Château Liversan is located in Saint-Sauveur, next to Pauillac. The sand-graveled soil on a calcareous plate is very filtered and the deep rootedness of the vineyards is largely favored.

Classified as a Cru Bourgeois in 1932, this splendid estate built in 1850 was formerly owned by the Marquis de Latresne during the 18th century and by the Prince Guy de Polignac from 1984 until the takeover by the Lapalu family in 1995.

With a solid tannic structure, the rather female character of these wines is expressed by the consistency of the tannins and a great aromatic complexity.

Size of the vineyard of Château Liversan: 51 hectares.
Type of soil: Thin gravel in a chalk subsoil.
Grape varieties: 50 % Merlot, 44 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 4 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot.
Average density of plants per hectare: 7,000 plants/hectare.
Average age of vineyards: 30 years.
Wine making process: in stainless steel vats. Each vat has its own temperature control system. Long vatting from 3 to 4 weeks.
Ageing: In oak barrels from the Allier region during 12 months (25 to 30 % barrels are renewed every year)
