Description
Château Caronne Ste Gemme Landot 2015
Château Landot 2015 grape varietals: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot.Deep ruby colour with a violet rim. A lush blackberry nose with undertones of coffee, raisins, tobacco and leather. Full-bodied and poised with a silky mouthfeel, fine acidity, discreet tannin backbone and a long finish.
Dating from 1648, Landot is a parcel of the oldest vines and highest quality from Château Caronne Ste Gemme. It borders the south of the St Julien appellation and its famed growths. The soil is made of deep gravel from the günzien period on an iron-rich sandstone layer with the presence of very light clay and grey marns.
Following a manual harvest, the grapes go through a full destemming and sorting. Fermentation occurs in thermo-regulated vats at 28–30°C. Maceration lasts from 15 days to 3 weeks. Ageing in 225 litre French barrels, of which 20% new, for 16 months.
