WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Les Trois Manoirs 2014 is produced using traditional Bordeaux winemaking methods. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats at temperatures ranging from 28°C to 32°C, followed by a maceration period of 21 to 28 days to extract color and tannins. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 12 months in oak barrels, which contributes to its development and integration of flavors. The 2014 vintage benefited from a slow maturation period in the vineyard, characterized by mild summers and sunny autumns, which aided in achieving balanced grape ripeness.
