THE VINEYARD
AN OPTIMIZED PLOT
Located in Blaignan, near Lesparre, in the heart of the Médoc appellation, the estate is established on clay and limestone soils. It extends to the north of the small town of Caussan from a mill located on a height, a "tertre": Le Tertre de Caussan.
Each generation has contributed to the evolution of the plot with the same logic:
- so that the transit of the grapes remains as short as possible between harvest and vatting,
- to optimize vineyard work,
- to have a coherent and expressive spatial identity in our wines.
Technical sheet:
Grape varieties : 51% Merlot - 40% Cabernet Sauvignon- 9% Cabernet Franc
Average age of vines : 30 years old
Planting density : 5000 vines/ha
Cut :traditional "médocaine" with 2 arms
Average yield : 40 hl/ha
Meticulous and enthusiastic,
I was keen to perpetuate and strengthen the quality of our wines by adapting traditional methods to new environmental challenges.

WEALTH FROM OUR SOILS
When he arrived as manager of the estate, Nicolas Caussan wanted to know the possibilities offered to him by the soils and the associated terroirs.
The prerequisite for its installation was to draw up the soil map of the estate by carrying out surveys and soil pits on all the plots.
(opposite some examples of the most significant pits).
