The production of Château Franc Bigaroux is a labor of love, utilizing eight distinct plots totaling 8.5 hectares of prime terroir. In a nod to ancestral cultural methods, the estate treats its land with immense respect, often employing horses to work the soil to avoid compaction and maintain vine health. The vineyard is home to ancient vines, some over 70 years old, which provide the concentrated fruit necessary for a Grand Cru. During the vinification process, the winemakers balance tradition with precision, using a combination of stainless steel tanks and large 500L and 700L barrels. This meticulous approach ensures that the unique characteristics of each vintage are captured, resulting in a wine that truly expresses its "terroir of excellence."
