Château LAROSE TRINTAUDON 2000
Château Larose Trintaudon is a Cru Bourgeois wine producer located in Bordeaux's Haut-Médoc. The vineyard is known for being one of the largest in the Médoc in terms of size and production, producing more than a million bottles a year. The vineyard covers 190 hectares of sand, clay, and limestone soils. The vines average around 30 years old and are farmed by sustainable methods.
The wine is a classic Bordeaux blend with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. At harvest, grapes are sorted and destemmed, then macerated post fermentation in stainless steel vats. Wines go through malolactic fermentation in tank and are pre-blended before barrel aging to create a homogenous quality. Château Larose Trintaudon uses mostly French oak for aging, but also uses a small amount of American oak.
