WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Belregard-Figeac follows traditional vinification techniques, a hallmark of classic Bordeaux winemaking. The aging process is carefully managed to balance fruit expression with oak influence. A quarter of the wine is aged in new oak barrels, another quarter in one-year-old barrels, and the remaining 50% is matured in cement tanks. This approach ensures that the wine develops complexity and structure from oak without overwhelming the inherent fruit characteristics, preserving the elegance of the Saint-Emilion terroir. The wine is sealed with a cork closure.
