    The Château Fleur Cardinale vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, typical of the Saint-Émilion appellation, which promote excellent drainage and harmonious ripening of the grapes.

The vines, averaging 25 years old, are cultivated with care, enabling sustainable viticulture that respects the terroir and promotes biodiversity.

    Owner and history

    Currently managed by the Carle family, Château Fleur Cardinale is the fruit of a family passion for wine and the terroir. The owners have breathed new life into the estate, blending tradition and innovation. Their commitment to responsible and environmentally conscious viticulture is at the heart of their philosophy. Each vintage reflects their dedication and love for the land, helping to make Fleur Cardinale a must-try in Saint-Émilion.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château Fleur Cardinale is carried out with the utmost care. The hand-harvested grapes are meticulously sorted before being destemmed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing for a gentle extraction of tannins. The wine is then aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 30% of which are new, imparting a subtle touch of wood and vanilla to the wine. This painstaking process results in a perfect balance between power and elegance.
