Château MONDORION has the distinction of being built on a sandy-gravelly ground.
In this naturally drained subsoil, the old vines (with an average age of 50 years) draw the essential elements to give a wine whose fruity and feminine velvety round around a frame of rare elegance.
This unique terroir is ennobled by a careful work of the vineyard, and this, with the sole aim of leading the grapes to an irreproachable stage of maturity.
The root system goes deep into the depths of the earth in order to find the best; the grassing practiced between the rows gives the land a microbial life where the vine finds the essential elements for its evolution.
All the work carried out during the year, at each stage of the growing cycle (leaf removal, disbudding, green harvests...) are carefully designed to give, in the end, Merlots and Cabernet Franc likely to produce among the best crus libournais.
Once brought to their optimum quality, the grapes are harvested manually in crates to leave nothing to chance, sorted upon arrival at the winery.
If it remains completely classic, the winemaking of Château MONDORION is no less the result of a know-how that has long proven itself.
Using a completely new and revolutionary material, Thibault Cruse imposes a particular style for wines with balanced, melted and concentrated matter.
The very wide vats optimize a gentle extraction of color and aromas by promoting the relationship between the juice and the cap of marc.
At the end of the fermentations, the wines are then put in barrels and amphorae where they will stay between 12 and 15 months depending on the vintage.
From this slow maturation they will take the texture and finesse that make the particularity of all great wines.
