Description

The Grand Cru Saint-Émilion AOC - Château Laforge delivers a wine of exceptional character, delighting with its velvety and round mouthfeel and impressing with its masterful balance.

On the nose, this captivating wine presents enticing notes of wild berry jam, ripe plums, and rum pot. These initial fruity hints are beautifully joined by more complex fruity-balsamic nuances. The palate is round, juicy, and smooth, where dark fruits are expressive and well-balanced. This fleshy and silky red wine unfolds on the tongue, showcasing its multifaceted nature.

Crafted from hand-picked grapes of the noble ‘Cabernet Franc’ and ‘Merlot’ varieties, Château Laforge truly captures the best of the Bordeaux region in every glass. The 5.8-hectare vineyard is notably planted to 92% ‘Merlot’ and 8% ‘Cabernet Franc’, representing one of the highest percentages of ‘Merlot’ among all Maltus-owned estates.

The meticulous vinification process begins in temperature-controlled wood vats. Malolactic fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, and the wine is subsequently aged in 80% new, French oak barrels, which significantly contributes to its remarkable complexity and structure.

Serving recommendations

We recommend serving at 16-18 C with red meat, wild poultry dishes.

A silky and refined red with plum, berry and light vanilla character on the nose and palate. Medium body, dense center-palate and a delicious finish.
