Skilfully managed by Arnaud de Butler, Chateau de Trebiac lies on a gravel plateau at Portets, 35 km south of Bordeaux. Over the past five years, both the estate's vines and winery have been completely rehabilitated. 80% merlot, 20% cabernet sauvignon planted on deep Garonne gravel.
Integrated farming practices are used in the vineyard, with ploughing to maintain the soil, Medoc pruning, shoot-thinning and suckering, manual leaf-culling at fruit set. The harvest is destemmed, fermentation is done in stainless steel or cement vats at 28C-30C, with maceration of 18 days. The wine is then aged for 12 months in stainless steel vats. Light filtration before bottling at the chateau.
