STUDIES ON BORDEAUX WINES AND GROWTHS

Chateau la Couspaude

Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Grand Cru Classé

last update : Wednesday 10 February 2010
 

Located on the north-eastern Saint-Emilion slope, a stone's throw from the medieval town, Château La Couspaude has clay-limestone soil on limestone bedrock.
With assistance from the Rolland enology laboratory, Alain Aubert and his brothers have introduced innovative methods to take advantage of the estate's intrinsic qualities.
In order to make great wine reflecting their terroir from fine ripe fruit, they implemented strict temperature control in small vats, gentle extraction, and fermentation in new oak barrels. La Couspaude is fruit-forward with elegant tannin and well-integrated oak. The style is rather "modern", and will delight lovers of strong, but easy-to-drink wines.
