Château Liversan’s single block 51-hectare vineyard is located at an altitude of 13 meters in Saint-Sauveur, on the west side of Pauillac. The soil is comprised of sandy-silt gravel with gravelly clays on the surface; quartz fractions and some limestone fragments in the subsoil. Fossil-rich limestone is found throughout the subsoil, which is gently distributed on light, draining slopes from north to south – a consistency that enables us adaptation to our grape varieties. Vinification is performed in concrete vats and thermo-regulated stainless-steel tanks, with 3 to 4 weeks of maceration and regular pumping over. Malolactic fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless-steel tanks. Aging is a 12-month maturing process – 25% in new French oak barrels, 25% in one-wine barrels, 25% in two-wine barrels and 25% in vats.

TASTING NOTES
The palette is led by a deep ruby color. Very expressive on the nose, plunging into black fruit aromas. Merlot delivers soft and silky tannins, and the blend surprises with freshness and delicate length. A good balance between maturity and freshness, concentration and elegance, the 2018 vintage is a deep and refined wine, expressing the subtlety of its terroir.
