CHÂTEAU BEL-ORMETRONQUOY- DE-LALANDE

AOC Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois

This property has a confusingly similar name to Château Tronquoy-Lalande, St.-Estèphe. Steady improvement since the mid-1990s has turned the once four-square character of these wines into a more classically structured style. This wine is matured in wood for 12 to 14 months, with 10 percent new oak.

RED These are firm, fruity, classically structured wines.

Cabernet Sauvignon 35%, Merlot 55%, Cabernet Franc 10%
