Langlois- Chateau de Fontaine-Audon 2016
Tasting notes
Extremely expressive, with typical citrusy and exotic fruit notes on the nose; on the palate lovely balance, elegance and freshness.
Estate
Founded in 1885 by Edouard Langlois and Jeanne Chateau (hence the name), Langlois-Chateau has a rich history as one of the leading producers in the Loire Valley. In 1973, the Bollinger family invested in Langlois, significantly revitalizing the vineyards and modernizing the cellar. Bollinger was naturally attracted by Langlois’ Crémant de Loire production, but the estate has become a leading quality producer in Sancerre, Saumur and other areas.
Vineyard
Langlois-Chateau owns and manages 175 acres of the best AOC vineyards in the Loire Valley. The crown jewel of their Sancerre holdings is at Chateau de Fontaine-Audon, a 37-acre vineyard from which they produce a single-vineyard Sancerre of the same name. Langlois maintains a sustainable approach to
vineyard management and holds the "Terra Vitis" certification.
Wine
100% Sauvignon Blanc, Langlois-Chateau's serious and complex Sancerre undergoes a gentle pressing with selection from the best lots, and then is handled exclusively in stainless steel.
