Saint- Emilion Grand Cru vineyard estate for sale

The estate has a house typical of the 1990s with beautiful views. This estate is all about the vines which are well situated on a south facing slope. Although the house is habitable with 5 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 2 shower rooms, it would need a complete renovation. There is a swimming pool and a terrace. This estate is primarily a place of wine production, not a chateau as such. There are also farm buildings and another cottage that needs to be renovated. Farm buildings: Winery Barrel store 2 tractor barns Maintenance garage Space for equipment storage Vineyard: Superb Saint-Emilion Grand cru vineyard, well located, south-facing with a clay-limestone soil. The estate comprises 5.53 ha of which 5.03 ha are planted with vines - 100% Merlot. Planted 1.90 m x 1.00 to 5.800 plants per hectare. The average age of the vines is 25 years. Yearly production is about 49 hl per hectare. The winery contains several types of vats: concrete, stainless steel and fiberglass with a thermoregulation system. The wine is not aged in barrels, but wood chips are used instead which is a useful economic method of enhancing the wine. Production: Fully equipped, with capacity to produce up to 17 hectares if required. Thermoregulated concrete vats. There are 4 Chateau brands which will give the new owner the opportunity to sell exclusively to a certain number of distributors. This is unusual and a real plus point.
