Château Mahon-Laville is a unique red wine produced by Jean-Christophe Barbe, a professor of oenology at Bordeaux University specialising in noble rot. Jean-Christophe is famed for his outstanding Sauternes estate Château Laville. Although Château Laville is predominantly planted with white grapes, Jean-Christophe has set aside a 1.3-hectare vineyard of red varieties to create Château Mahon-Laville.
The harvest team at Château Laville are trained to make multiple passes through the estate’s vineyards, selecting only the perfectly botrytised grapes required to make top Sauternes. Jean-Christophe utilises these skilled pickers to ensure the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for Château Mahon-Laville are only harvested when they are perfectly ripe. Such a level of detail is not always possible in this area of Bordeaux, with many producers forced to harvest when pickers are available, rather than when grapes have reached optimum ripeness levels.
Château Mahon-Laville’s Bordeaux Supérieur is made from 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in oak. This wine marries ripe plum and blackcurrant aromas with a subtle cigar-box spiciness.
