Château Larose-Trintaudon

If Château Larose-Trintaudon has succeeded in creating a name for itself as an excellent wine, vintage after vintage, it is entirely due to its taste quality. By expressing its strength of character without austerity but with suppleness and finesse, it pleases novices and wine experts alike, and is universally appreciated. At each blending, the cellar masters practice their alchemy, testing until they succeed in unveiling the wine’s true personality, a combination of intensity and opulence that expresses superb red fruit aromas whilst preserving aromatic freshness and purity. That is why, depending on the harvest and the balance of the grapes, the blend is slightly different each year. For, as everyone knows, subtle movement is the secret to perfect balance!

 

Tasting notes

Deep ruby colour, very dense. Nose of cinnamon, sweet spices, black cherry. Crunchy fresh black fruit on the palate with very good controlled power. The tannic structure remains caressing, smooth and very long. A great vintage for ageing, the likes of which are few in a lifetime!To be decanted 1 hour before tasting

Enjoy from now until 2025/2027
