Clos Marsalette

Clos Marsalette is a Pessac-Léognan estate at Martillac, jointly owned by Stephan von Neipperg and Didier Miqueu. It has 12.3 hectares of red-wine vines and 1.3 hectares of white, planted on gravel rises above layers of sand, clay and marine sediments.

Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon lead the red plantings, with a small share of Cabernet Franc; the white vines are Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Grapes are picked by hand and sorted twice before fermentation in wood and concrete for the reds, and stainless steel for the whites.
