Wines from Domaine Vaïsse

Wines of very high quality

Pierre VaïsseThe estate prioritizes very long aging for its wines: 20 months for the reds, which gain in velvety texture and silkiness. The château's wines are aged in 45% new oak barrels crafted by the finest coopers. In 1999, the château invested in new truncated conical vats to enhance extraction and facilitate plot-by-plot winemaking. Passionate, resourceful, and with the help of his retired bricklayer father, the winemaker built his own winery.Anianand made a manual punch.
