Terroir:
Château Aurore is located in the Entre-deux-Mers region of Bordeaux. The vineyards sit on calcareous soils, benefiting from a unique hillside exposure that enhances the wine's complexity and minerality.
Viticulture:
The estate practices organic farming, ensuring that the vines are cultivated without synthetic chemicals. The grapes are hand-harvested at night to preserve their quality and integrity.
Winemaking:
Les Fleurs du Mal is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. The wine undergoes a one-month maceration pelliculaire and is aged on lees in a combination of concrete tanks and new oak barrels. This method adds depth and texture to the wine while preserving its fresh and vibrant character. Minimal intervention - Natural wine
