To produce the Haut-Médoc “Les Hauts de Perganson” Château Larose Perganson, fermentation at 22-24° C took place in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks and lasted for 18 days. Délestage (rack and return) was used to extract colour and complex tannins by breaking up the cap and oxygenating the juice, which resulted in a softer and more fruit forward wine. After fermentation, the wine was aged in tank for three months, with 15% being aged with French oak staves to aid with polymerisation of the tannins.
The Château has 35 hectares of vineyards in total with a plant density of 10,000 vines per hectare, ensuring a very low yield per vine, which in turn lends more intensity to the wines. ‘Les Hauts de Perganson’ is the second wine of the property, made from younger vines. The approach and commitment to sustainability in the vineyard is the same, however. ‘Les Hauts de Perganson’ is made from 12 year old vines planted on one of the oldest layers of Médoc gravel (the ‘Pyrenean layer’). This encourages the vines to search deep for nutrients, resulting in a wine of excellent concentration.
