Producer Information

Chteau Larose Trintaudon is a Cru Bourgeois wine producer located in Bordeaux’s Haut-Mdoc, the chteau building lying just west of the border between the Pauillac and Saint-Julien appellations. The estate is known for being one of the largest (in terms of size and production) in the wider Mdoc, producing more than a million bottles a year. The grand vin is a Bordeaux blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a little Petit Verdot. The estate has a history dating back to 1719, but it was not until 1838 that Henry Delaroze planted the estate’s first vineyards on a gravelly hillside parcel named ‘Tenement de Trintaudon.’ In the 1920s, most of Chteau Larose Trintaudon’s vines were pulled out as the then-owner tried to establish industrial dairy farming in the Mdoc. It was not until the 1960s that the semi-abandoned chteau was brought back to life by the Forner family, owners of the esteemed Marques de Caceres winery in Rioja, with the help of Emile Peynaud, a well-known oenologist and wine consultant. Chteau Larose Trintaudon has been owned by the insurance company Allianz since 1986. The vineyard covers 180 hectares (440 acres) across a mix of sand, clay, and limestone soils. The vines average around 30 years old and are farmed by sustainable methods (the estate has the environmental ISO14001 certification). At harvest, grapes are sorted and destemmed, fermented and macerated, post fermentation, in stainless steel vats. Wines go through malolactic fermentation in tank and are pre-blended before barrel aging to create a homogenous quality. The estate forms part of the wider Vignobles de Larose group, which includes the fellow Haut-Mdoc estates of Chteau Arnauld and Domaine de Perganson (which produces Chteau Larose Perganson) as well as the Saint-Estphe-based Chteau Tour de Pez.
