Château Langoiran

Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux

Château Langoiran carries the name as the municipality in which it is located, 25 kilometers at the south east of Bordeaux, on the right bank of the Garonne River. Château Langoiran wines benefit from a particularly meticulous vinification as well as an optimum ageing in French oak barrels in the underground cellar dated from the 17th century . Today, the Château Langoiran’s cellar is opened to public for daily visits. Its underground cellar, the particularity of the Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux terroir, the history of the region and the beautiful landscapes are good reasons to come and discover the wine-making philosophy of the Gonfrier family.

 

DOWNLOAD THE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

A.O.C.: Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux rouge


District: Langoiran


Vineyard surface area: 15 hectares


Terroir: Clayey-limestone slopes with gravelly zones


Grape varieties: 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon


Average vine age: 20 years


Viticulture : Traditional Bordeaux-style vine training, with two canes and a flat arch. Controlled grassing-down of the vine rows or mechanical working of the soil, to improve the soils’ vitality and biodiversity. Manual “green pruning”, for a homogeneous distribution and proper aeration of the grape bunches. Mechanical grape harvesting.
The entire vineyard is managed using sustainable viticulture, certified as HVE3 (High Environmental Value), and we are committed to a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach certified by Ecovadis.


Vinification: Destemming, crushing and vatting. Cold pre-fermentation maceration to delicately extract colour and fruitiness. Fermentation in stainless-steel, temperature-controlled tanks. The maceration is extended to obtain a powerful dense wine.


Ageing: 12 months in french oak barrels in our underground cellar. (1/3 of new oak barrels).


Tasting notes:
The wine has a deep ruby red colour. The nose is complex due to its little red fruits aromas and spicy notes. The mouth is powerful, full bodied, the silky tannins and the mellow woodiness confers to the wine a really well-balanced profile.
