The property is located in Saint-Sauveur near Pauillac and its famous Crus Classés. It used to encompass plots from the former estates of Ramage, La Bâtisse and Tourteran that now all adjoin into a single estate.
An 18th century Manor House stands in the centre of the property. The MACIF –a mutual insurance company – has owned the property since 1986. It has invested heavily in improving and maintaining the vineyard and cellars in line with Bordeaux traditions and in order to consistently produce high-quality wines.
Harvesting is both manual and mechanical and the grape-harvest is sorted in the cellar.The vinification is traditional and each vat is both thermo-regulated and monitored individually. The on-skin fermentation at 28°C then lasts 12 to 21 days. 30% of the harvest undergoes malolactic fermentation in new oak barrels, hence granting the wines such finesse and softness.
Château Ramage La Batisse 2018 Tasting Notes :
With aromatic subtility, melting fruit, floral notes, mint and spices, tight and elegant structure, high aromatic persistence. Sophisticated but yet powerful, high potential, highly complex.
