« Between Tradition and Modernity »

Extract from : vie pratique gourmand

Purchased in 1991 by Marie Cécile and Ali Mahmoudi, the Château Saint-Louis vineyard has undergone some profound changes.  The wines from the estate have been largely rewarded each year since the acquisition of this property by this diverse couple.  Today, a driveway scented by roses leads you into an enchanting environment, between the sounds of fountains and corks.  Combining regional and Persian styles, this château is an ideal setting for making wine, and also for private and professional receptions.  At the heart of a 35-hectare vineyard, Ali Mahmoudi is pleased to receive guests with generosity and joviality in this place where two cultures meet.  “The Spirit of Saint-Louis” was born from this meeting.  The goal is to help you discover and enjoy the vineyards, the facilities, and the wine.  Over the vintages and seasons, the team works the vineyard and the wine with enthusiasm and passion.  Starting in September 2005, without having made any official commitment, the entire vineyard was converted to be treated according to the regulations of organic farming.  Then, in September 2006, a formal commitment was made towards organic farming, under the supervision and ongoing consultation of Mr. Daniel Noël, a recognized expert in the field.  The grass cover between the rows of vines has changed, and no plant protection product disturbs the natural balance of the soil and the vines.

AFTER BEGINNING THE YEAR COVERS IN SNOW

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!!

SPRING 2005 AT SAINT LOUIS DOMAIN

The bud bursts of the vines came very late this year. Rain was scarce at the beginning of April and it was not possible to make reserves. We would have preferred more rain before the bud burst follow-up by a dry period, in order to avoid diseases.

ÉLU PARMI LES TÉNORS DE L'ANNÉE

The average yield this year is 34 hl/ha in AOC Fronton.

Red wines were pressed after 3 weeks of maceration during which we did many pumping over and "delestages".

The white wine is aromatic, red wines are concentrated, with a low acidity. The blend of the different varieties during ageing should reveals the vintage 2003 and the terroir of Fronton.
