Production and refinement

Château Pellot’s winemaking philosophy is founded on balancing respect for nature with careful attention to fruit quality. In the vineyard, practices include single Guyot pruning, thinning, green pruning, and cluster selection to control density. The goal is to produce healthy, concentrated grapes capable of expressing elegance and finesse. Harvesting is mechanical but equipped with a sorting system, ensuring precise grape selection.

In the cellar, Jules Monroux enhances the natural balance of the wines through careful vinification: cold pre-fermentation, temperature control, punching down, and rack and return, with a maceration period of 4–5 weeks. Aging takes place exclusively in barriques, half of them new, for about 8 months, harmoniously integrating the toasted notes of the wood with the fruit and the wine’s natural structure. The result is an elegant, smooth, and fruity Bordeaux, fully expressing the character of the Langon terroir.

Chateau Pellot

Château Pellot is a small 6-hectare estate located in the commune of Langon, in the heart of the Bordeaux appellation in France. The property has belonged to the Monroux family for generations; Jules Monroux, the fifth generation of winemakers, personally oversees the vineyards, carrying forward a philosophy that combines tradition with modern precision. Situated on this clay-and-gravel hill, the vineyards enjoy optimal south and west exposure, allowing the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen evenly and fully, highlighting the typical characteristics of the Bordeaux terroir.

Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region is one of the most important wine territories in the world. Not only does this region reach dizzying qualitative peaks, but it has consistently maintained those results, year after year, with top-notch quality.

Centuries of tradition and pursuit of quality have raised the bar and made Bordeaux wines famous: in 80% of cases, they are imposing red wines of remarkable structure and power, but there are also examples of botrytized or noble rot wines that complete the oenological panorama and elevate Bordeaux's reputation.

Bordeaux benefits from its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is maritime: mild winters, cool summers, abundant precipitation but very well absorbed by the soil rich in stones, breccia, and sediments. The soils are highly variable on the surface, not particularly fertile, and covered by a thin layer of breccia, while the deeper layers are rich in minerals.

Regarding the classification, most wines are designated as Cru Bourgeois, but otherwise, there is no homogeneous system for the entire region.

Entre-deux-mers

A beautiful sub-region located 80 km southeast of Bordeaux. Its name means "between two seas," but in reality, it denotes the territory between two rivers, the Garonne and the Dordogne. It offers a wide variety of quality wines and is home to beautiful vineyards, making it one of the oldest wine-producing areas in France.

The region has diversified terroirs with mixed soils and many wooded areas. For this reason, Entre Deux Mers differs from most Bordeaux designations with a variety of soils ranging from gravel and clay to limestone and sand, resulting in many wine styles.

Mostly dry white wines are produced from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle, but Entre-deux-mers is also known today for the production of high-quality red wines.

The area comprises nine AOCs, which are: Entre-Deux-Mers AOC, Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, Sainte-Croix-du-Mont AOC, Cadillac AOC, Loupiac AOC, St-Macaire AOC, Graves de Vayres AOC, and Sainte-Foy-Bordeaux AOC.
The name means "between two seas," indicating the territory between two rivers, the Garonne and the Dordogne.
