history
They named their wine CILORN after a Celtic legend in which the fairy Viviane tames a dragon who becomes guardian of the mystical island of Avalon. A sculpture in the monolithic church of Saint-Emilion—“Le Chemin des Allégories”—depicts this dragon, symbolizing the mastery of passion and impulse. The name reflects their work: carefully controlled vines shaping a Bordeaux Supérieur with power and balance.
Vineyard
Vines of Château CILORN are planted on a sandy silty plateau located on the hills on the eastern side of the Estate. All of our plots are cultivated with the respect for environment and full expression of the terroir: low level of treatment, frequent tillage, systematic leaf-thinning, green harvesting, sorting. One variety: MERLOT, typical variety from the Saint-Emilion growing region.
Winemaking
The grapes are mechanically harvested and a sorting table is used for optimal quality. The vinification, traditional, is carried out in vats with thermoregulation to optimize fermentation and maceration. After crushing, the wine ages in tank during 12 months. Bottled after 12 months’ ageing in stainless steel vats. Château CILORN is available in 75 cl Bordeaux bottles
Tasting notes
A beautiful ruby color with purple tints. The fruity nose is marked by notes of morello cherries and blackcurrant. In the mouth the attack is delicate and full of finesse with a round body ending on an acidulous note.
