Description
Viticulture
Located seven kilometres north of Saint-Estèphe, this 48 hectare vineyard planted with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon is situated on clay-limestone soils.
Vinification
The grapes are picked fairly late, destemmed, sorted, lightly crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with total temperature control. It is then placed in stainless steel tanks where it is aged for 12 months before being bottled.
Wine aging
Ready to drink, good ageing potential.
Tasting notes
Canteloup 2017 has a nice intense crimson robe. The bouquet is expressive, with notes of plum and liquorice highlighted by hints of spice and smokiness. This wine is smooth and round, with impressive length.

“Excellent second wine of Château La Gorce. Supple and mellow tannins make it both complex and accessible.”
