All our wines are pleasant to drink as soon as they are bottled and will keep their fruity aromas during their youth. We harvest our whites when they are fully ripe, we mature them on total lees in order to make fat and powerful wines that can be kept and improved for a few years. The clairet, very fruity in its youth, will become sweeter and silkier after two or three years of ageing in bottles. As for red wines, if you have a cellar and prefer to age them, we advise you to open one bottle a year to monitor the evolution of the aromas. Lovers of mature wines will appreciate our wines between 5 and 8 years after harvest.
Château Ballan-Larquette
BORDEAUX ROUGE
He is the ambassador of our vineyard!
The delicate alchemy between power and elegance, fruitiness and aptitude for ageing.
Open this bottle a few hours in advance. Turn off your phone and let yourself be seduced.
The exceptional vintage that does not leave one indifferent! A beautiful structure, well coated tannins, a well blended woodiness, let yourself be seduced.
The latest addition to the Ballan-Larquette range, an astonishing delicacy with citrus fruit aromas, softness and smoothness well balanced by a beautiful freshness in the mouth, it is on its way to becoming one of our best sellers.
No one expects a white Bordeaux with such an aptitude for ageing... And yet: silky, round and fat on the palate, with a touch of liveliness, this great white wine for laying down goes wonderfully with cooked fish.
