Taste
This wine opens with a refined bouquet of blackcurrant and dark cherry, accented by cedar, graphite, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Layers of ripe dark fruit, dark chocolate, and gentle oak unfold gracefully, leading to a composed, lingering finish that speaks to both power and restraint.
About the Winery / Winemaker
Château Vieux Landat is situated on 18 hectares of gravelly soils in the Haut-Médoc, a terroir long prized for producing structured, age-worthy Bordeaux wines. Classified as Cru Bourgeois, the estate emphasizes traditional winemaking alongside sustainable practices and holds both organic and High Environmental Value (HVE) certifications. The 2022 vintage benefited from a warm growing season, allowing for excellent ripeness while preserving freshness and balance.
Why We Love It
This is textbook Left Bank Bordeaux done right. Structured yet approachable, it delivers the elegance and depth Bordeaux lovers seek at a very accessible price point. It’s a fantastic option for those looking to cellar a few bottles—or simply enjoy a well-made, classic Bordeaux with dinner.
