Labastide Dauzac | Bordeaux, France
The second wine of Château Dauzac, Labastide Dauzac is made from young vines or plots that do not go into the Grand Vin of this Margaux classified growth.
A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot with 18 months in oak.
Labastide is produced in the estate’s renovated cellars with the same care and attention as its older brother, Château Dauzac, in order to express its own version of this unique Médoc terroir.
In the harvest there is meticulous plot by plot selection. In compliance with the biodynamic calendar, this vintage was harvested on fruit days for grand terroir wines. The alcoholic fermentation was done with yeasts naturally selected in their vineyard. The symbiosis between the terroir, yeasts and varietals succeeded in producing a very delicate wine of great complexity.
