The Château Lartigue-Cèdres is located in the centre of the Bordeaux vineyards, between the rivers Garonne and Dordogne, the “entre deux mers”. It was built at the end of 1800 in stone quarried on the site and the Chateau represents the innovative spirit of its builders bringing together modernity and tradition, intelligence and the land.
Its vineyard benefits from this typical soil which produces a round and well-constructed wine.
Here, everything is a paradox: old buildings are full of technology, the old vineyards are renovated each year, the soil is expressed with modern wine-making techniques...

A traditional Bordeaux Red Wine
This wine spends a short time in oak barrels, which gives it more of a spirit than a character. Generally speaking, its taste is of matured fruit expressed together with silky and melted tannins, long in the mouth and slightly woody. Bottles are numbered and there are magnums.
tasting : this should be at room temperature and its flexibility will allow you to serve it with many different dishes.
conservation : it can be enjoyed from one year and up to 8-10 years depending on the year of harvest.

A fruited wine: Clairet
A pure expression of red fruits, this wine is an unknown delight. It is more of a light red wine than a rosé.
tasting : to be drunk chilled to very chilled when the night is hot.
garde : one year to take advantage of the fruits vivacity, 2 to 3 years for a long and fruity wine. With time, the vivacity disappears. In the summer, always keep a few bottles in the refrigerator !

For the adventurous
For the most courageous, the bottom of the well is 25 metres underground and can be reached by walking through a subterranean stone pit!
Welcome
