Château Laniote: Tasting & Drinking
The wines of Château Laniote demonstrate an attractive style, typically starting out with a wealth of dark yet fresh fruits, blackcurrant and black cherry, red cherry and toast, the exact flavour profile varying with each passing vintage of course. In successful vintages such as 2016 and 2018 there is a sweetness and freshness to the wine, an admirable feature often underpinned by a smart grip of ripe tannins. It is very correct in its character, and does not lean too far towards the modern, diffuse, over-extracted style that one sometimes encounters in the less commonly explored corners of St Emilion. While ripe and firm, it doesn’t usually feel overdone.
