Château Aney
Nestled in the renowned Haut-Médoc region of Bordeaux, between St-Julien and Margaux, Château Aney stands as a captivating estate, embodying the essence of its terroir. Comprising 35 hectares, the vineyards benefit from a unique location influenced by the Gironde Estuary, creating optimal conditions for grape cultivation.
Constructed in 1850 by its eponymous family, Château Aney predates Bordeaux's wine classification system by a mere five years. Thriving as a Cru Bourgeois, the estate faced neglect in the mid-twentieth century. In 1972, Jean Raimond and his son, Pierre, acquired and revived the property, earning Cru Bourgeois status once again in 1978. Today, Pierre, alongside his son David, oversees the estate, producing wines of distinction.
Château Aney's terroir boasts diverse soil types—gravel, clay, and limestone—bestowing unique flavours and textures to the wines. Meticulous vineyard management employs sustainable practices, and the warm sun, tempered by Garonne's cool breezes, warms the gravel-covered vineyard, safeguarding against springtime frosts.
The final blend mirrors the vineyard proportions: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot.
In the cellar, handpicked fruit undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels for complexity.
Château Aney prides itself on the vegetal characteristics defining its wines. The blending of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot results in wines showcasing blackcurrant, plum, and spice notes, with a subtle earthy undertone. These nuances add layers of complexity, delivering a captivating sensory experience.
