Château L'Escarderie
Saint-Germain-de-la-Rivière (Saint-Émilion)
Since May 2015, the Schmid-Haguenin family has been working to revive Château L’Escarderie.
Engaged in Organic Agriculture for certification in 2018, the owners make it a point of honor to make a true wine, as natural as possible.
The harvest and many works are done manually. Animal traction with horses is practiced to avoid soil compaction and allow very precise work under the cavaillon.
The cellar of the XIXth century, of very clever semi-buried design, allows a natural regulation of the temperature and a contribution of the grape harvest. It is only the yeasts naturally present on the berries that will trigger fermentation.
During the whole vinification and maturation process, a professional oenologist follows up. Impeccable control of the sanitary state makes it possible to considerably reduce the amount of sulfur necessary for good aging.
