Château Les Clauzots - Red 2019
Château Les Clauzots is located in Saint-Pierre-de-Mons, in the Graves appellation of the Bordeaux wine region. At the beginning of the 1900s, the Tach family settled in a place called Les Clauzots where the activity was then cattle breeding, the cultivation of cereals and the first white grape varieties. Marceau Tach produced the estate's first wine in 1920, a sweet wine. In 1960, the family abandoned mixed farming and planted its first red grape varieties. Frédéric Tach joined his father Paul in wine production in 1988. Winemakers from father to son, Frédéric perpetuates the rite with his two sons, Adrien and Maxime. In 2018, Château les Clauzots called on the services of Hubert de Boüard Consulting to develop the activity. The vineyard now covers 37 hectares, certified with High Environmental Value .

After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation occurs in barrels and stainless steel vats. The wine is aged for 16 to 18 months in new and one-wine barrels .
