A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, Château de La Coste is made using young vines and selected fruit from Château Paveil de Luze itself. The vines are grown in gravelly soil and subsoil. Leaf thinning is done in July at the least exposed side to the sun and in August for the most exposed side. Green harvesting is done just before the ripening period. Grapes are all manually harvested and sorted at the winery. After a cold maceration for 48 hours, alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks occurs and lasts for 21 days. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 25% new.
