Château CLÉMENT PICHON 2000
Château Clément Pichon is a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in the Haut Médoc appellation which produces quality and accessible wine. The harvest is manual, the bunches are sorted for the first time in the vineyard and then sent to the vat in wooden containers for transporting the grapes. They are sorted a second time on the table and then completely destemmed.
The winemaking process faithfully respects the plot lots with fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, a long maceration of 25 to 30 days, a malolactic fermentation partly carried out in new barrels. For 13 to 16 months depending on the vintage, the aging of the wine is entirely ensured in barrels, half of which are renewed each year, with reasonable extraction and regular stirring of the lees. Egg white fining is carried out before bottling at the property (around 120,000 bottles per year).
Château Clément Pichon is a structured wine with silky tannins. The 2000 vintage is one of the finest vintages in Bordeaux and offers long-lasting wines.
