Château La Confession 2013 is a red wine from Saint-Emilion Grand Cru in Bordeaux, France. It is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The crop is double-sorted, first in the vineyard and again at the winery. Vats are filled without crushing, and vinification takes place in small open wooden vats. Punching of the caps occurs every 3 hours until a density of 1070, every 8 hours until 1040, and once a day until 1000. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at 26-28°C, with a vatting period of 24 to 27 days. Malolactic fermentation is in new barrels (50%) and one-wine-old barrels (50%). Ageing is in barrels from Demptos, Darnajou, Remond, and Radoux, each 25%, with 25% cigar-shaped and 75% traditional barrels. The wine matures on lees for 6 months, with no fining or filtration.
