Michel Chapoutier's journey is a pursuit of perfection. As a pioneering figure in biodynamic winemaking, his relentless dedication to a viticulture that honors the essence of life has placed him among the elite winemakers of the world. His expertise fortunately extends beyond our borders. As a consummate creator of fine wines, he skillfully selects and illuminates the finest terroirs. In 2009, he expanded into 3 hectares in the Douro, launching the Dos Lusiadas range, vinified in his own cellars. With stunning landscapes, native grape varieties, high altitude, and abundant sunshine, these wines are of exceptional quality: discover it for yourself with this exquisite Porto cuvée. |

Born from the unique schist soils of the Douro, the 2017 LBV Red Porto is a quintessential example of traditional port, aged one year in concrete vats followed by two years in 500-liter barrels, as is customary. This port strikes a balance between power and delicacy, with a fruit-forward style. It unfolds a rich tapestry of flavors, featuring woodland berry, plum, blackberry, and a hint of spice. The robust structure is complemented by refreshing acidity, achieving a precise balance. It's a perfect dining companion, pairing splendidly with dishes like duck breast, and of course, chocolate. |
