AOC Haut-Médoc
Consistently performing above its class, this château is situated on fine, gravelly ground that once had the right to the Pauillac appellation and formed part of a cru classé. The quality has improved since the property was purchased in 1996 by the redoubtable Madame Lencquesaing, who also owns Pichon-Longueville-Comtesse-de-Lalande. This wine is now matured in wood for 12 months, with 30 percent new oak.
RED These wines are very stylish, with lush Cabernet fruit backed up by the creamy richness of new oak.
Cabernet Sauvignon 62%, Merlot 36%, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot 2%
6–12 years
Second wine: Château Le Fournas Bernadotte
