Until The Turn Of The Millennium, Chã¢Teau Fougueyrat Was Run By The Nicoux Family As A Very Good Saint Emilion Grand Cru. After All, The Excellent Terroir Where The Vineyards Thrive, Testify To Great Class. With Prestigious Grand Cru Classe Neighbors Such As Cap De Mourlin, Soutard, Larmande And Dassault, This Is Hard To Argue With. In 2001 The Mortelmans Family Acquired The 7 Hectares Of Beautifully Situated Vineyards With Its Cellars. In Order To Retain The Chãteau As Part Of The Select Group Of Saint Emilion Grand Crus, Everything And Everyone Was Promptly Adjusted To Quality. The Vineyards Are Located On The Famous Limestone Rock Of Saint Emilion And Are Planted With 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc And 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. They Were Realigned And Even Partially Replanted. Thanks To A Double Short Pruning (Vendanges Vertes), Nothing But Quality Is Pursued In The Vineyards. In The Cellars, The Alcoholic Fermentation Can Be Monitored Very Accurately Thanks To Small Thermo-Controlled Stainless Steel Tanks. The Aging In French Oak Barrels Was Revised, So 1/4Th Of Oak Barrels Are Renewed Every Year. The Rest Of The Wine Is Aged In 1 Or 2 Year Old Barrels. Annual Investments Allow Chãteau Fougueyrat A Bright Future And Thanks To Its Oenologist Stephane Toutoundji (Chãteau La Serre, Chã¢Teau La Pointe, €¦) They Already Know How To Use The Most Innovative Techniques. Thus, Today It Can Compete With The Best Grand Crus And Even Grand Cru Classes, And Can Start Dreaming Back Of The Status It Enjoyed In 1949, Grand Premier Cru Classe! Thanks To The Great Predominance Of Merlot, Chã¢Teau Fougueyrat Is Ready To Drink At A Young Age, But It Can Of Course Undergo Several Years Of Cellar Maturation. Exceptional Vintages Such As 2000 And 2005 Will Probably Not Have To Shy Away From 20 Years Of Cellar Maturation. Chã¢Teau Granchamp Is Often Referred To As €˜Little Brother€™ But Comes From 1.5 Hectares Of Beautifully Situated Vineyards From Montagne Saint Emilion. The Merlot (100%) Grapes Come From A Single Plot Of A Calcareous Subsoil With A Clay-Like Top Layer. This Wine Receives The Same Upbringing As Chã¢Teau Fougueyrat
