About this wine
Description & facts
Château Plince is situated just outside the village of Catusseau in Pomerol, and has
been owned by the Moreau family for over four generations. The vineyard, planted
on dark sand with an iron-rich subsoil, is made up of one block and counts Châteaux
Nenin and La Pointe as its neighbors.
The vineyard is tended traditionally and with great care throughout the year (leafthinning,
green harvests) in order to produce optimally ripe fruit that is expressive of
this terroir.
After harvest, the grapes undergo a careful sorting before being transferred to thermoregulated
cement tanks, where they are stored for one week of pre-fermentation
maceration. Fermentation lasts for 1-2 weeks, and after 1-2 weeks of additional
maceration, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels (1/3 new) for the malolactic
fermentation, followed by 12-18 months of aging.
