The vineyard, located in Saint-Christophe-des-Bordes within the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, spans 12 hectares. The vines are planted with 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, contributing to the wine’s complex character. After a traditional fermentation process, the wine is aged for 18 months, enhancing its depth and structure. This meticulous winemaking includes de-stalking the grapes, alcoholic fermentation at high temperatures (28°C) with daily pumping over, followed by a long maceration period of four weeks, and completed with malolactic fermentation.
Château Toinet Lavalade has earned notable recognition for its quality. The 2019 vintage was awarded a Gold Medal by Gilbert & Gaillard in 2021, a testament to the winery's commitment to excellence.
