Château Les Aubiers
This estate in the village of St. Aubin de Blaye was created back in 1904 by Gabriel Bruneteau who was elected mayor of Saint Aubin de Blaye in 1921. His great grandson Jean-Francois Reaud has modernized the winery and started organic farming in 2011.
The vineyard is 60 acres on sandy gravel in the Right Bank's Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux with excellent south eastern exposure. This 2016 started with a cold maceration and then a slow fermentation over three weeks with pumping over 2 or 3 times a day. The wine aged in cement vats. The final blend is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec.
