Wine Description
The Story
With three hundred years of history, Loudenne is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc region.
The vineyard of Château Loudenne is located on two gravelly hills that slope gently down to the estuary. The gravels which reflect the sun’s rays, reduce the risk of freezing and favor growth of vegetation, creating an exceptional microclimate. This privileged terroir contributes to the unique complexity and finesse of Château Loudenne wines.
Harvesting: End of September. A nice summer with favorable weather conditions in September and October allowed us to harvest grapes at perfect maturity.
Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon & 50% Merlot
Vinification: Thermo-regulated stainless steel and concrete vats. Average 25 days fermentation.
Ageing: 1/3 new oak, 12 to 15 months in 100% French oak barrels originated from Bordeaux coopers; medium toast, 2 to 3 racking
