Chateau Lalande Villeneuve is perched at the tip of the Medoc where sea breezes keep the grapes healthy and the mineral soils make the wines powerful. Here the Saint Estephe blend of soils (Clay, Gravel and Chalk) make the Merlot powerful and the Cabernet Elegant. The Petit Verdot brings freshness to the blend.

Tasting
Dark ruby black colour. Inviting aromas of dark chocolate, espresso, spearmint, and tobacco with a supple, crisp, dry body and a tingling tobacco leaf, and red fruit finish with grippy tannins and oak. A food-friendly, intro-Medoc for the everyday table.
Food pairings
Duck breast, rib steak or beef tenderloin are particularly suitable for pairing with Médoc. Simply grilled a la plancha, on the barbecue or in a pan, they highlight the suppleness of this Bordeaux red wine. Cheeses: ricotta, beaufort, cabralès, parmesan, cantal
