A portion of the vines are situated at the base of the Saint Christophe des Bardes slope on sand and iron-rich sandstone soils, the rest are situated on the gravel soils of Saint Sulpice. Planting is high-density at 6,600-9,000 vines per hectare. Part-manual and part-machine harvest. Cold maceration to enhance aromatics, followed by thermoregulated fermentation and 2 to 3 weeks post-fermentation maceration to enhance extraction.

The Saint-Emilion properties Château Milon Grand Cru and Clos de la Cure Grand Cru have been in the Bouyer family for over seven generations, before being joined in 2010 by the 56 acre (0.56 hectare) Clos 56 in Pomerol. In the capable hands of Alexia and Pierre Bouyer, the domaine takes an ecological approach to the running of the estates aiming to bring out the best of their terroir marked by the fullness of ripe Merlot with intense red fruit aromas underpinned by delicate tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-inner  producer-sustainability-slice\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"two-col-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half full-stack left-align-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Sustainability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaines Bouyer practices reasoned viticulture and has embarked upon an ongoing programme to make its operations increasingly sustainable: it no longer uses herbicides; it ensures that soils are regularly aerated, and it plants complementary cover crops between rows of vines.
