Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux ILIADIS is a creation of VIGNOBLES GONFRIER. It is the reflection of longstanding viticultural and family know-how, with precise practices at the service of our terroirs. ILIADIS comes from a magnificent, sunny hillside at Château de Pic, made up of warm gravel on clay with a shallow limestone subsoil, allowing excellent natural drainage. This plot, planted exclusively with Cabernet Sauvignon, benefits from a high density of 6 600 vines per hectare. This density enables the wine to reveal the full expression of the Pic terroir. The richness of the terroir and the winemaking methods used give this wine a subtle blend of power and finesse.xDOWNLOAD THE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION A.O.C : Cadillac Côtes de BordeauxDistrict : Le TourneVineyard surface area : 5 hectaresTerroir : Clay-gravel slope on limestone soilGrape varieties : Cabernet SauvignonAverage vine age : 30 yearsViticulture : Parcels with a density of 6 600 vines / ha have been selected for this cuvée.
