Informations
Château Lousteauneuf is a family property in the northern Médoc. Upon your arrival you will visit all the facilities. Then, if you wish, we could walk to discover the vineyard and its different grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit-Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot. Last, we could share a tasting with views on amphoras and wooden vats.
Wine maturing in amphorae is very atypical in the Médoc. The special reserve "Lousteauneuf le Grand", resulting from the maturing of petit-verdot in amphoras, will surprise you!
