The 9 hectares Chateau Haut Segottes are all within the St. Emilion Grand Cru appellation, with vineyards planted 60% to Merlot, 35% to Cabernet Franc, and 5% to Cabernet Sauvignon. The position of the vineyards within the appellation is outstanding, with parcels found within the lieux-dits of Fortin (across from La Dominique and 300 meters from Cheval Blanc); Chauvin; and the highly regarded Plateau de Corbin. Production averages 45 hectoliters per hectare and 30,000 to 40,000 bottles per vintage. Meunier is a meticulous winegrower, with an impeccably organized and clean cave. The vineyards are tended with the utmost of care by Meunier and her long-serving trio of master “gardeners”. Her obsession with, and dedication to her vineyards, enables Haut Ségottes to produce exceptional quality year-in and year-out despite the vagaries of the weather.
