1938 is a vintage tribute to the work done by all the winemakers when the cellar was created in 1938, as well as to their successors. Each vintage is therefore a new opportunity to celebrate their values and ambitions.
The vintage
This vintage is exceptional. Despite the high temperatures of the summer and low rainfall, the harvest was of high quality and produced wines that are both sun-soaked and delicate.
Terroir
Puisseguin is located opposite the Saint-Emilion plateau. The appellation covers approximately 760 hectares. Its name comes from the word "Puy" which means "hill" and the name Seguin, Charlemagne's lieutenant. Located on clay-limestone soils, these allow for the production of full-bodied and complex wines that have good aging potential.

Traditional winemaking with controlled temperatures. Rackings are carried out to optimize and enhance the extraction of fruit, color, richness, and roundness of the wine.
