HISTORY OF DOMAINE: The Chateau Haut Segottes is owned and operated by Danielle Andre. Mme. Andre is also vigneronne and winemaker extraordinaire. Mme. Andres great-grandfather purchased the estate around 1860 and had earned gold medals for his wine as early as 1912 at the Concours Agricole in Paris. In 1959, the estate began to bottle its wine in earnest. In 1972 Mme. Andre took the reins of production. COMPOSITION OF DOMAINE: Chateau Haut Segottes has 9 hectares planted to vineyards, all within the St. Emilion Grand Cru appellation. The vineyards are planted 60% to Merlot, 35% to Cabernet Franc, and 5% to Cabernet Sauvignon. The position of the vineyards within the appellation is outstanding. Parcels are found within the lieu-dits of Fortin (across from La Dominique and 300 meters from Cheval Blanc); Chauvin; and Corbin. Production levels average 45 hectoliters per hectare. Haut Segottes bottles between 30,000 and 40,000 bottles per year. METHOD OF VINIFICATION: Tradition reigns at Haut Segottes. Harvest is manual. Fermentation takes place in cuve. Wines are rotated into barrel for an elevage of approximately 18 months. Approximately 20% of the barrels are new. Wines are bottled unfiltered. Although the majority of the vineyards are planted to Merlot, the ultimate cuvee bottled as Haut Segottes features a majority of Cabenet Franc.
