Bordeaux has long enjoyed the reputation for producing some of the best red wines in the world - deeply aromatic, complex red wines. This region is located to the east of Bordeaux where the clay and sand soil is perfectly adapted to the creation of fine wines. Cepages: 30% Merlot and 70% Cabernet Sauvignon About the Producer: Château Landonnet, an award winning vineyard located east of Saint Emilion, was started in the mid 19th century by the maternal ancestors of the family. After hand harvesting, the grapes undergo a malolactic fermentation in new oak barrels for 30 days, then are oak-aged for 16 months. This wine truly deserves the name 'grand vin.' Tasting Notes: An intense, almost purple, deep red with an intriguing bouquet of red cherries, toasted oak, and vanilla; this well-structured, full-bodied wine presents with the flavors of spice, round red fruits and.silky tannins. Recommended Food Pairings: This is a very 'food friendly' wine which pairs exceptionally well with beef, lamb, duck, fowl, and cheeses, whether the meats are simple roasted or grilled, or served with sauces. |
