The vineyard is planted with 70% Merlot and 30% red cabernet franc, grafted onto wootstock of low vigor, which is essential for the production of fine wines. Planted on a soil of high quality, at an altitude of nearly 40 meters, the vineyard of the Mayne-Vieil enjoys the sweetness and oceanic influence of the Bordeaux region. |
