Since more than 6 generations, the Lartigue family is attached to the ground of Listrac. It is into 1973 that Bernard LARTIGUE becomes the new master of the winegrowing estate. In truth médocain in the line of its ancestors, and deeply attached to the true values médocaines, it is with passion that it will create the properties Château Mayne Lalande (Listrac), Château Myon of Enclos (Moulis) like Les Cinq SENS of Château Mayne Lalande, its house of hosts.
A perfectionist, rigorous, demanding character of a vine grower liking work well done leads it to the permanent research of excellence but also to call itself in question each day to obtain the best potential of the soil in order to work out high-class wines, having a very long aptitude for ageing.
True to itself, blending charm and breadth, its 2016 Listrac Médoc, beautiful shiny dress, with these notes of raspberry and violet on the palate, is a really tasty wine, very classic, a bold and dense wine, the nose spicy, the tannins present that begin to blend, well typed as we like them, excellent guard, like the 2015, which is a beautiful color pro- melts with aromas of fresh fruit and pepper, soft and ample in mouth, a beautiful balance, with a complex nose dominated by plum and humus, with well-present tannins, a dense finish with this spice flavor.
On 2014, 60% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernetfranc, 5% petit verdot, very well aged in barriques (30% new barriques) is rich in bouquet and material, with balanced tannins, complete, elegant, all in mouth, with shades of blackcurrant, truffle and humus.
The 2013 is very successful, elegant, rich tannins and velvety at the same time, all in aromatic finesse (leather, redcurrant...), a wine of sustained garnet dress, full-bodied, ideal, for example, on a lamb fillet with candied shallots or a sautéed kid with mustard. The 2012, particularly tasty, of beautiful deep purple colour, with notes of raspberry and cinnamon, is of great harmony, very fragrant, severe.The 2011 (50% new barrels) is all in mouth, dominating of roundness, firm, all in aromatic nuances (black cherry, cinnamon...), very good evolution. The 2010 (50% new barrels), with rich palate, blackberry and humus scents, balanced tannins, is oily, distinguished, mouth flattering and rich at the same time, where one finds smoke and cinnamon in the finish.
