Chateau Laubarit Bordeaux Superieur 2020 750ml
THE STORY
Located in Saint Pierre de Bat, 45 kilometers south of Bordeaux, in the
heart of the Entre Deux Mers Haut-Benauge. This property has been in the
Dumas and Simonneau families since 1780. In 1965, Pierre-Abel and
Nicole Simonneau took over the estate and eventually handed off the
reins to their son, Florent, and their daughter-in-law, Isabelle. Their
vinyeards in the Entre-Deux-Mers Haut- Benauge region of Bordeaux have
been certified organic by Ecocert since 1965 and biodynamic by
Demeter since 2002. The terroir here is thick, broken layers of limestone
and clay, and has iron-rich topsoil loess, perfect for growing Merlot and
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes as well as white grapes such as Muscadelle
and Sauvignon Blanc.
Isabelle, whose grandparents were farmers, grew up with her hands in the
soil. So, when she met Florent, her husband and member of one of the
original Bordeaux wine families, naturally she started working the vines
with Florent and his father. She then got a technical degree in
winemaking and wine business, began managing the estate in 1994, and
today is running Château Laubarit, one of the cleanest and greenest
estates in all of Bordeaux. VARIETAL
50% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 50% MERLOT
