Description
Chateau Poesia is located in the eastern portion of Saint Emilion on a well elevated, limestone plateau. The vineyards have good neighbors with Valandraud, Chateau Peby Faugeres and Chateau Fleur Cardinale close by. Owner Patrice Leveque manages the vineyards and Owner Helene Garcin is in charge of the winemaking and marketing for their properties.
The 24 acre Right Bank vineyard of Chateau Poesia is planted to 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon on clay and limestone soils. The vines are average close to 30 years of age, however there are old vines. In fact, some of the vines are more than 70 years of age! They follow oragnic and sustainable farming, grapes are hand picked and the wine ages 18-24 months in 80% new French oak. Total production is less than 3000 cases which for Bordeaux is quite small. This 2016 was an outstanding success.
