Adored by our Selection Committee, Landot wines are a hit at every vintage. A micro-production from a two-hectare parcel of Château Caronne Sainte-Gemme, this Bordeaux is a concentrate of terroir, located on a resurgence of the Saint-Julien plateau and immediately adjacent to the Gruaud-Larose and Lagrange grands crus classés. This particular situation creates an incredible wine, unlike any other, of beautiful concentration and elegance. A rarity in the Bordeaux region!
