Chateau Loudenne Medoc 18

Château Loudenne has one of the most beautiful settings in the Médoc, perched above the Gironde estuary with vineyards that have been producing wine for centuries. This Cru Bourgeois is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend showing ripe plum, cedar, a hint of tobacco, and the kind of approachable structure that makes Bordeaux a pleasure rather than a homework assignment.
