At our state-of-the-art winery, dedicated exclusively to Georges de Latour Private Reserve, a portion of the wine was fermented in new French oak barrels for early integration and dense, rich texture. The balance was fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks to preserve the fruit’s freshness. After extended skin contact, the wine was pressed and returned to barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging. A small amount of Petit Verdot was blended with the Cabernet Sauvignon to enhance the wine’s aromas and flavors. The meticulous barrel regime is essential to the elevated quality of this wine. We work closely with only a small number of select cooperages to ensure the style and consistency of the barrels.
