I settled as a young winegrower in 1988 in Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, following my parents’ footsteps who were winegrowers in Mazion, and producers of Pineau and Cognac in Charente region. In 1990, my husband Dominique bought the Château Haut Landon. It was the neighbouring estate of my parents, so we decided to bind our vineyards in 1997 when I inherited the cellars and 3 hectares of vine from my parents. Through the years, our couple in life as in the vine managed to modernise the wine equipment and reorganise the adjoining vineyard of 22 hectares. Today, the Château Haut Landon is the largest of our three vineyards and is grown in Bordeaux Supérieur appellation.

The colour is beautifully intense. The nose opens with spicy, very harmonious notes of peanut. The attack is supple in the mouth, accompanied with fine tannins that give a most interesting sweetness. The long finish ends on a harmonious note of ripe fruit and wood.

Intense deep color with purple glints. On the nose is a highly concentrated aroma of fresh blackcurrant. This continues on the palate, for a well-structured and supple delicate balance. The finish is clean, dominated by fresh summer berries. This unconventional style is very appealing.
