With the 2024 vintage, Forge Céleste returns to the intention behind its first wine in 2018. Following the lightly oaked 2019, released as Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, we return to Saint-Émilion with a wine made without oak.
The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The vines have an average age of 45 years and grow on siliceous soils. This origin guides our work and the decisions we make in the cellar.
Our approach to the 2024 is clear: a USDA Organic certified wine made without sulfites or exogenous winemaking inputs. The direct expression we seek depends on careful attention at every stage of its making.
