Winemaker Notes
Red garnet color with purple tints, the 2014 Chateau de Landiras is engaging on the nose with aromas of kirsch, blackcurrant, currant and spices. On the palate, the fruit dominates, carried by a beautiful freshness. The wine is clean and balanced with tight tannins. A crisp, fresh style.
Pairs well with red or white meat dishes, charcuterie platter, hard cheeses
Blend: 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon

Great intensity of classic Bordeaux fruit on the nose, cassis, dark cherries and liquorice. The rich round palate is bursting with fresh blackberry and blackcurrant, lovely silky tannins great length all in perfect harmony.

An impressive Graves, the well-built wine with beautiful aromas and flavors, the sophisticated 2014 Château Landiras serves up red fruits, with a slight floral note. The wine satiny palate pairs well with lightly seasoned roast chicken. (Tasted: October 11, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

The Chateau de Landiras is at the heart of the legacy of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac, foundress of "La Compagnie de Notre-Dame" in 1607. This religious congregation was the first in the history of France to provide free access to education for young ladies. It still holds this role today through hundreds of schools in 27 countries around the world.
Since 2007, a new dynamic is bringing the estate back to life. First, the restructuring of the vineyard has allowed the Chateau de Landiras to be part of some the finest wines in the Graves appellation. Then, a strong effort has been made to enhance the historical heritage of the property and make it accessible to visitors.
Today, the Chateau de Landiras is run by estate owner and architect Michel Pelissie, with the assistance of director Francois Puerta. Michel is passionate about leading the estate with the project of combining architecture and winemaking, while being surrounded by people who share his vision: to give a new life to the Chateau and produce quality wines.
