The Estate and the Vineyard
Château SIGOGNAC is located in Saint Yzans de Médoc, on the ruins of a Roman "Villa Ausone".
Harvesting at Château Sigognac is carefully carried out at full grape maturity, following a meticulous tasting of the berries. The process begins with complete destemming followed by crushing, and vinification takes place in temperature-controlled wooden, concrete, and stainless steel vats, done on a plot-by-plot basis. Each plot and grape variety is vinified separately in dedicated vats.
The maceration lasts for about three weeks, allowing for optimal extraction of the terroir characteristics. The press wines, sorted into three qualitative categories, are selected in barrels. This precise and careful approach facilitates the blending of the vintage.
The aging process continues in exclusively French oak barrels, ranging from 1 to 2 wines, for a duration of 12 to 15 months. This contributes to refining and developing the complexity of the wines, adding subtle nuances and an elegant structure to each cuvée.
