In 1858, Count Ernest de Lahens built the Chateau and its tower that, to this day, watches over the ocean of vines. The wine estate alternated between periods of success and harder times, the worst being the outbreak of phylloxera that destroyed all French vineyards in 1869.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the 1960s, the Forners, a renowned Spanish wine growing family, purchased the estate. Under the scientific authority of Professor Emile Peynaud, a prominent vine and wine specialist, the property regained its former stature, in particular following the planting of 430 acres of the best grape varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe benefits of this work were reaped twenty five years later, with the 1986 vintage of Chateau Larose-Trintaudon. This was when the Assurances Générales de France, confident in the estate's potential, invested in the property and then in the Chilean estate Casas del Toqui in 1994. Since then, year after year, the estate's teams have worked in the four century-old tradition while also looking forward to the future and implementing a policy of sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDark and very intense colour of deep ruby. Ripe aromas of small black fruit dominate (blackcurrant, blackberry), though with good freshness. The palate is fleshy, with a nice touch of tannin. Long, caressing finish. To be watched during ageing, which will seek to bring out the harmony and the balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlend: 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e94Decanter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Dried herbs, with perfumed notes and black fruits on the nose. Clean, refined, crystalline nature to the wine, this is so enjoyable. Palate is rich and powerful, good intensity in the tannins with a full finish.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 91James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA fine, linear red with currants, blackberries and some chocolate and hazelnuts. Medium to full body. Medium round tannins. Pretty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e91Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom one of the largest estates in the Médoc, this wine is packed with black-currant fruits and elegant tannins. Initially it seems light, but a core of structure and classic poise between fruit and tannin make the wine a candidate for aging. Best after 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Larose-Trintaudon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561862230240,"sku":"102306","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/chateau-larose-trintaudon-haut-medoc_1.jpg?v=1704310232","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-larose-trintaudon-haut-medoc-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
