Loudenne Le Château 2016
"THERE IS NO GREAT TERROIR THAT DOES NOT LOOK AT THE RIVER"
Like the greatest Médoc wines, Château LOUDENNE's vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir located on the edge of the Gironde estuary which, like a mirror, reflects the sun's rays, reduces the risk of frost and promotes the ripening of the grapes. This privileged location gives the wines of LOUDENNE elegance, complexity and finesse.
