Description

hâteau Langlet Graves White 2023 – Sauvignon Blanc from the Kressmann Family

Château Langlet White 2023 is a dry white Bordeaux wine from the Graves appellation, produced by the Jean Kressmann family in Cabanac-et-Villagrains, south of Bordeaux.

This historic property benefits from the technical expertise associated with Château Latour-Martillac, a Classified Growth of Graves.

A historic vineyard in Bordeaux

Château Langlet was already mentioned in the 1868 edition of the renowned Féret wine guide, which documented its production of both red and white wines.

The Kressmann family acquired the estate in 1999 and has continued to develop its vineyards using traditional cultivation methods.

The property has held High Environmental Value certification since 2019.

Ancient gravel soils and Sauvignon Blanc

The estate covers approximately 10.61 hectares, including 1.46 hectares dedicated to white wine production.

The white vineyard is planted exclusively with Sauvignon Blanc, grown on ancient Tertiary gravel deposits with clay and sand subsoils.

The vines are approximately fourteen years old on average, with a planting density of 5,500 vines per hectare.

These growing conditions contribute to the wine's aromatic expression and refreshing structure.

The 2023 harvest and winemaking

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were harvested by hand in small crates on August 29, 2023.

Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks, followed by six months of ageing on lees.

This maturation enhances the wine's texture while preserving the natural aromatic freshness of Sauvignon Blanc.

The wine was bottled at the château in March 2024, with a production of approximately 10,500 bottles.

Tasting notes and food pairings

Château Langlet 2023 displays a pale yellow colour.

The nose reveals tropical fruit aromas, complemented by delicate grapefruit notes.

The palate offers expressive flavours of passion fruit and mango, with a refreshing acidity and a rounded, generous texture.

The wine's lively character makes it an excellent partner for oysters, prawns, grilled sea bass, scallops and fresh goat's cheese.

Serve between 10 and 12°C.

The estate recommends enjoying this vintage between 2024 and 2026, when its freshness and aromatic expression are particularly appealing.
