Château Pontarnaud – Bordeaux Rouge
Les crémants de Bordeaux sont des vins "mousseux" blanc ou rosé. Issus de la région de l'Entre-Deux-Mers, les spécificités de ces vins sont fortement liées à leur terroir ainsi qu'à l'influence climatique océanique et tempérée de la région. Situés entre la Garonne et la Dordogne, les vignobles de crémant bénéficient d'un taux élevé d'humidité essentiel à leur élaboration, selon la méthode champenoise.
Château Pontarnaud in Jugazan belongs to Mr Michel Falgueyret. The 20-year-old vineyard borders Rauzan, which was occupied by the English until the end of the Hundred Years War. A witness to these medieval wars, the fortress of Rauzan was built in the 13th century and restored in the Gothic style after the Hundred Years War.

Cold soaking before fermentation (4 to 15°C for several days) for the ripest grapes, to obtain more intense fruity notes.

Alcoholic fermentation (controlled temperature, selected yeasts) and maceration of the skins for around 3 weeks to obtain a rounded wine with good structure. Ageing in stainless-steel and concrete tanks.
