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.
Wine As intense and comprehensive as ever, propelled by a very great vintage, the 2018 Red Haut-Medoc Landot offers the quintessence of its style this year. The Cabernet Sauvignon is perfectly ripe, a full-bodied wine, very Medoc-like but without any rigor of style. The polished tannins and the slender and energetic palate offer a complex and deep wine with an exquisite mentholated finish.
Vinification Hand harvested, use of thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, maceration from 15 days to 3 weeks, aged in oak barrels for 16 months.
