Vieux Château Landon 2012, Médoc

Description

Founded in 1607, Vieux Château Landon has belonged to numerous generations of winegrowers over the centuries. Its Cru Bourgeois status is proof of its long-standing reputation for fantastic claret – a reputation that continues to be upheld today. The winemaking team, led by the talented James Servat, uses traditional Bordeaux grape varieties to craft their elegant wines. This 2012 vintage is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc for added softness and vibrant fruit flavours. It’s aged for 12 months in oak, making for a complex, age-worthy wine that delivers all you could want from a delicious Bordeaux red. You’ll find it smooth and aromatic with complex notes of ripe red fruits, woody spice and leather. The high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend gives the wine an excellent structure, making it an ideal pairing for red meats or hard cheeses.
