Chateau Larrivaux 2019
Not available for shipping
Château Larrivaux 2019 is a red Bordeaux from the Haut-Médoc with a slightly different accent from many Left Bank wines. Its blend is led by a relatively high proportion of merlot at 59%, supported by cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and cabernet franc. That gives the wine a generous fruit core, while the Haut-Médoc origin keeps the structure firmly in place.
The estate is based in Cissac-Médoc and has a long history, with winemaking mentioned by the producer as far back as 1580. Château Larrivaux also highlights the biodiversity around its vineyards, with plots set among hedges, woodland, meadows and fallow land. The vines grow on clay-limestone and clay-sand soils across different parcels and microclimates.
