WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château Segue Longue Monnier employs a traditional Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The grapes are cultivated using organic and biodynamic farming methods, with a commitment to being sulfate-free since 2020. Following harvest, the wine undergoes fermentation, the specifics of which are not detailed, but are crucial for extracting varietal characteristics. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, a process that imparts structure and complexity. The estate's philosophy centers on sustainable practices and allowing the unique terroir of the Médoc region to be expressed in the final wine.
