Chateau Langlet,
Ready, but will keep,
Owned by the Kressman family, one of the ancient names of the Bordeaux wine trade, this estate has made a well-balanced wine that is just approaching maturity. Rich black fruits are sustained by the firm, dry core and juicy acidity. It is a wine to age further, so drink from 2021

Chateau Langlet,
Ready, but will keep,
Langlet Blanc is crafted from a small plot (0.6 hectares) exclusively planted to Sauvignon Blanc. Aged for six months in French oak, 10% of which new, the wine offers the typical tropical aromas of the variety, with limey zest and a saline twist. This is Graves at its best, aromatic and textured with grilled nuts on the finish, uplifting to drink now but will gain depth in the next three to five years. Drink now to 2025.

Chateau Langlet is one of the oldest vineyards in the Graves wine region, able to trace aits history back to at least 1868.
The key element in its recent history was its acquisition in 1999 by the Kressman family, renowned Bordeaux proprietors, and the engagement thereafter of famed oenologist Denis Dubourdieu, one of the world’s most respected consultants in the realm of white wine production.
The grapes, which are manually harvested, are fermented in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks before being then aged in oak barrels, 20% new, for 10 months before bottling. The oak is purely supportive rather than dominant and it imbues the wine with a certain spicy richness, wholly different from the wines from the Loire which are also made from Sauvignon Blanc, such as Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé.
