Product information
Product Details
Wine of France
The Merlot is the predominant grape variety being 90% and the remainder is Cabernet. These grapes combined with limestone and red clay soil produce a delicate, elegant soft wine with the flavour of summer fruits, balanced by the ageing in new small oak casks which takes place underground.
Château Lapelletrie has been owned by the Jean family since 1930. The vineyard covers 12 hectares and is situated on one of the highest points of St Emilion at St Christophe des Bardes.
Tasting Notes
Elegant soft wine with the flavour of summer fruits, balanced by the ageing in new small oak barrels. Firm claret with ripe blackberry fruit and a touch of vanilla.

Manual harvesting takes place with grapes selected via a sorting table in the vineyard. The temperature-control systems in the vats allow for alcoholic fermentation to take place at 30°C - 32°C for 2-3 weeks. The wine is then transferred to oak barrels in January and matured for 12 -15 months.
