Vineyard Notes

Sacré Coeur is produced from a miniature 1.5 hectare plot on the magnificent terroir of Château La Croix, the Janoeuix family’s Pomerol estate. Lying just a few metres from Château La Croix Saint Georges, the soil is a mixture of fine gravel and sand. This combination favours both excellent ripeness and great complexity in the grapes. Our friendly neighbours in this prestigious appellation include Château Le Pin, Pétrus and Petit Village.


Winemaking

Double sorting of the crop : first in the vineyard and second at the winery. Filling of the vats by gravity without crushing. Punching of the caps every 3 hours until 1070 of density, every 8 hours until 1040, then one pumping over a day till the end of the alcoholic fermentation and maceration. Temperature during alcoholic fermentations : 27/29° C. Vatting period : 26 days. Malolactic fermentation in barrels.


Ageing

Cooper : Darnajou : 100 %, 1/3 of new barrels among them. Maturing on lees during 6 months, stirring of the merlot lees.
