Elaboration

This is the second wine of Château Tour Haut-Caussan Cru Bourgeois run by brother and sister Fabien & Véronique Courrian, the family acquired the vineyard in 1877 and they are the 4th generation of winemakers, though the family has been living in Blaignan-Medoccan since 1634. Their father Phillipe has moved his wine-making passion to Château Cascadais in Corbieres.

They maintain a very traditional approach to viticulture and winemaking, using no chemicals, only compost which they make themselves from grape stalks and cuttings, a fact noticeable by the greenness of their vineyard against their neighbors. While in the Medoc mechanical harvesting is common, they believe in hand-picking. They also use no form of filtration. This great wine is made of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot picked by hand, and aged in barriques.

Taster´s notes

On the nose, this 2016 has a fairly intense nose with notes of black and red fruits and very nice floral notes in the background. On the palate, it is very pleasant, more round than powerful. It is a well-balanced wine that can wait for 2/3 years to reach good maturity but that can be enjoyed now. We recommend pairing it with red meats. We suggest a serving temperature of between 16ºC and 18º

The Winery

Château La Landotte, with 3 hectares of vines, located on the Potensac plateau, is taken care of by the team of Château Tour Haut-Caussan since 1987, with the same application and seriousness. Véronique Courrian and Fabien Courrian are the fourth generation to look after the destiny of the vineyard and the winery. They maintain a very traditional approach to viticulture and winemaking, using no chemicals, only compost that they make themselves from grape stalks and cuttings, a fact that is evident in the greenery of their vineyard compared to their neighbours. While in Medoc mechanical harvesting is common, they believe in manual harvesting. They also do not use any form of filtration.
