Château Laforge

Another small operation owned by Jonathan Maltus that finds its origins on the gravel plateau around St Sulpice, south-west of the town of St Emilion. Green harvests, hand picking and 50 year old vines ensure that only the healthiest, most balanced and concentrated grapes are at the winemaker’s disposal. Contrary to Le Dôme, most of the plantings are of Merlot with about 10% consisting of Cabernet Franc. The land extends over 5 hectares so higher quantities of wine are produced per annum - about 1000 cases which is still very small by Médoc standards! The Merlot is so deep and brooding after vinification that it needs just over a year in new oak before bottling.
