- Showing ripe dark berried fruits complemented by cedar, spice, savory notes, and subtle hints of vanilla. The ripe black fruits are underpinned by a hint of licorice. Smooth on the palate, the wine is harmoniously balanced with velvety tannins and has a long, elegant finish.
The vineyard is located in the heart of the Saint Emilion Grand Cru appellation and covers four hectares. The vines have an average age of 40 years and are grown in a sandy alluvium soil, which produces a slightly lighter style of wine. The vineyard is situated at the convergence of two rivers, which creates a unique microclimate and the viticulture is carefully managed accordingly. Cultivated sustainably, the estate is certified Haute Valeur Environmentale (HVE) level 3 certification, which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. The harvest is undertaken manually each vintage.

| Winery | The Chateau is not only architecturally impressive, but it has an equally impressive winemaking history. The castle was built in the 16th century and attests to the presence of vines having been planted around it in 1785. It became the property of the Luquot family in 1907 and has subsequently been managed by the family and handed down through the generations. The Luquot family has invested in the vineyard and the cellar to express the authentic quality of their unique soils and is sustainably cultivated, holding the HVE Level 3 certification. The Chateau is now in the hands of the fourth generation who continues to invest and produce a wine that is truly expressive of this historic Grand Cru terroir. |
