Château La Maletonne
MÉDOC AOC – BORDEAUX – FRANCE
Château La Maletonne is an estate located in Saint-Seurin de Cadourne. It belongs to Chantal BOYER, who produced her first vintage in 2018.
This small 2-hectare estate is exclusively planted to Merlot, which makes it quite an original exception.
The result is a classic and supple Médoc wine, round and fruity, with predominant blackcurrant and liquorice flavours, and a touch of wood.
Certified HVE3 as of the 2018 vintage.
