The wine was dry, with high acidity and a medium body. I found plum and red cherry on the nose and palate.
Producer
Château Haut Selve was founded in 1993 by Jean-Jacques, Arnaud and Denis Lesgourgues, and its parent company is Maison Léda. The estate describes itself as the only wine estate newly created in Bordeaux in the twentieth century, planted on a historic Graves site that had been destroyed by phylloxera and left as forest for 120 years. Since 2018 the domaine has held HVE level 3 (Haute Valeur Environnementale) and has followed the TerraVitis framework for sustainable viticulture.
Site
The domaine covers 43 hectares between pine forests and gravel slopes at Saint-Selve, in the Graves. This wine is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vinification
Since 2018 the team of Stéphane Derenoncourt (Derenoncourt Consultants) has advised the estate on both vineyard work and winemaking. The domaine's cellar (chai) was designed by Sylvain Dubuisson.
