Château Dompierre - Pauillac 2016
Château Dompierre is located in Saint-Laurent-Médoc, near Pauillac in Bordeaux. Michel Aroldi, born in Libourne, has a long farming history. In 1993, he bought Château Plain-Point in Fronsac and established himself as a very talented winemaker. Attracted by an evolution in terms of growth, Michel Aroldi acquires Château Dompierre on the terroir of Pauillac. He attaches great importance to respecting the ecosystem, the terroir and the vintage. Thus, from the vine to the ageing at the winery, he sets up a process of sustainable agriculture, inspired by simple and natural rules.
Château Dompierre is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon, meticulously sorted during the harvest. After the manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts. The must cap is immersed and the fermentation lasts 7 weeks. Aging lasts 20 months in wooden vats from Nadalié, composed of fine-grained French oak.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
