Château Desmirail

Château Desmirail

It was Jean Desmirail, a famous Lawyer at the Parliament of Bordeaux who gave his name to this Château at the end of the 17th century.

This is a Third Grand Cru Classé following the prestigious 1855 list.

The vineyard, which extends over some 30 hectares and is planted on Quaternary gravel soil and subsoil, is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot noir 39% and Cabernet Franc 1%.

All grapes are harvested by hand with successive sorting in the vines. The average annual production, which varies according to climatic conditions, is around 150 barrels, or the equivalent of around 180,000 bottles, with a low controlled yield per hectare of 6,000 bottles.

The wine is aged in one-third new barrels for 18 months prior to bottling.

Description Château Desmirail 2017.

The 2017 vintage should give the lie to the "numerologists" who are convinced that a vintage in 7 can't be good.

What about 1947 (okay, it's a bit old) and 2007 (wasn't it misjudged? Ten years on, some are revising their judgement).

Summer conditions were favorable for building tannins.

The vintage was an early one, with harvesting starting at Desmirail on Wednesday September 13.

The Merlot grapes were picked in three days, due to low production following the frost.

This was followed by a ten-day waiting period, before the Petit Verdots were picked on the 26th and the surviving Cabernet Sauvignons were harvested.

The harvest ended late on Thursday September 28.

The first juices showed pronounced color and very quickly the fine tannins were Extraits.

We had feared the worst with the frost at the end of April, but the vines that were spared gave us very good quality.

Available in imperfect

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
