The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Adored by our Selection Committee, Landot wines are a hit at every vintage. A micro-production from a two-hectare parcel of Château Caronne Sainte-Gemme, this Bordeaux is a concentrate of terroir, located on a resurgence of the Saint-Julien plateau and immediately adjacent to the Gruaud-Larose and Lagrange grands crus classés. This particular situation creates an incredible wine, unlike any other, of beautiful concentration and elegance. A rarity in the Bordeaux region!
Wine Intense and rich, the 2019 Red Landot Haut-Médoc offers again this year the quintessence of its style, backed by a rather incredible vintage. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape is perfectly ripe, crafting a very Medocan bottle that doesn’t suffer from an overpowering caracter. The palate is delicate yet energetic, with polished tannins and a complex and deep frame, with a beautiful minty finish. You will adore it in bottle format, or even better, in Magnum!
