Château Laubespin 'Le Moulin' Médoc AOC 2018

Château Laubespin is located in the far northern Médoc, about 25 kilometers northwest of St. Estèphe, where the Gironde estuary broadens out into the Atlantic. The estate has been family owned for five generations, and has been managed sustainably since 2006 by Richard Barraud, who uses local organic fertilizers and natural grass cover throughout the estate’s 13 hectares. This accessible, rustic bottling represents a great value in Left Bank Bordeaux. Cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and merlot are hand sorted and vinified in concrete and stainless steel tanks, resulting in a medium bodied wine that delivers generous layers of dark fruit. Blackberry, blackcurrant, and wild raspberry are balanced by lively accents of spice, cedar, and tobacco, supported by a backbone of earthy, well-integrated tannin. Classic and versatile, this is a great value for cooler weather dinners (or anytime you feel like it)! Sustainably grown.
