Description

The great wine Château Haut Breton Larigaudière comes from exceptional expertise and terroir. It stands out in Margaux due to its blend of over 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, fully harnessing the potential of the terroir to achieve exceptional aromatic finesse. Structured yet elegant, balanced, and featuring firm but silky tannins, Château Haut Breton Larigaudière can compete confidently with the finest wines of the appellation.

Winemaking and Aging
Cold pre-fermentation maceration, 15 to 30 days in tanks, concrete, and stainless steel.

Separate vinification of each grape variety according to the age of the vine and the terroir origin. To promote the development of aromas, the alcoholic fermentation process is carried out at relatively low temperatures (between 28° and 32° depending on the vintage).

Aging for 15 to 20 months in French oak barrels, coming from 10 different coopers, with 50 to 100% new barrels.

Producer Profile

Château Haut-Breton Larigaudière, located in the village of Soussans in Margaux, has roots stretching back to the 18th century. The estate spans 15 hectares of well-drained gravel and sandy soils, perfectly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, which takes centre stage in the vineyard alongside Merlot and Petit Verdot. Purchased by the De Schepper family in 1964, the château has managed to balance tradition with modernity, embracing sustainable practices and earning High Environmental Value certification. A well looked after estate, it’s a fine example of Margaux’s elegance.
