Chateau du Lort Bordeaux

Tasting note: On the nose, harmony reigns supreme, offering the perfect balance between the aromas of juicy dark berries with finely toasted notes and vanilla overtones. Lovely length, developing, through a silky, dense tannic structure, an aromatic complexity whose elegance shows through with the force of the region’s most distinguished wines. Additional information: Built in the 17th century, Château du Lort (Bordeaux Supérieur) is nestled in a natural haven of tranquility, surrounded by vines. Since 2012, the property has been certified Terra Vitis, the reference for French winegrowers who respect nature, wine and the people who make it. In the vines, chemical herbicides have been abandoned in favour of cover cropping and soil tillage. Château du Lort owes its distinctive character to a slightly unusual blend of grape varieties. Merlot brings fruit and balance, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides solid structural integrity. Replanted in 2014, the Petit Verdot provides depth of colour, alongside notes of red fruits, cocoa and spice. With barrels supplied by five different coopers, Château du Lort is typically aged for around twelve months in 50% new oak. Work in the cellar allows for delicate wooded notes, taking nothing away from the boldness of the fruit.
