Château La Chapelle d'Aliénor

Vineyard blend
  • 85 % Merlot
  • 15 % Cabernet Franc
  • Sémillon

Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The shares published by the estate already total 100% even though it lists other grape varieties: for lack of a consistent breakdown, none are shown here.

Why buy it

The wine

In 2001 the de Malet Roquefort family fell for Château Chapelle d'Aliénor, whose vineyard lies on the hills not far from Saint-Emilion. Since then this château has been vinified with the same care as that given to the Grands Crus. A very particular atmosphere reigns over this vineyard, the reason being the presence of a chapel in the middle of the vines, watching over the proper ripening of the grapes.
