The estate
The Château Capbern is a Saint-Estèphe cru located in the northeast of the appellation. Château Capbern is the property of Château Calon Ségur.
The vineyard
Château Capbern is a Saint-Estèphe wine from a 38.5-hectare vineyard, 31.5 hectares of which are in production. The vines, averaging 14 years of age, are planted on sandy-gravel, clay-gravel and limestone soils.
The vintage
The winter of 2023-2024 was mild and rainy. Flowering in June occurred under dry, temperate conditions. The summer, slightly cool and with minimal water deficit, allowed steady vine growth. In September, sustained rainfall and cool temperatures required heightened vigilance, but the clay soils favored good ripening.
Winemaking and aging
Hand harvesting. First grape inspection on the vine. Vibrating de-stemmer and manual sorting table. Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel cylindrical tanks. Maceration lasts 20 days. Aging lasts 18 months in barrels (60% new, 40% second-fill).
Blend
Château Capbern 2024 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Merlot (30%).
