Chateau La Prade
Chateau La Prade
In 2000, Nicolas Thienpont bought Chateau La Prade, a property of 4.5 hectares, from Patrick Valette. Its vines are perfectly situated on south-facing slopes in the community of Saint Cibard. Half of the vineyard area is situated on this limestone plateau with quality clays, enriched with iron. The other half of the vineyard is on slopes with a southerly aspect and the soils, rich in black mica and iron. Their old vines planted on chalk, and the very low yields receive additional care in the vineyard. The wines are aged on their lees in 50% new oak barrels.
