Three Whites from Château Loudenne, 2019
Chateau Loudenne is located high up in the Médoc appellation near St-Yzans-de-Médoc, east of Lesparre-Médoc. Situated on two low gravel mounds, it enjoys a very privileged position looking down onto the waters of the Gironde. The château, painted an eye-catching dusky pink, has stood since the 16th century, and the grounds are graced with cellars which date to the 19th century, an extensive park and even a small private harbour.
These days the estate is owned jointly by Moutai, a leading Chinese spirits company, and Camus, a major player in the world of Cognac. The two companies have been working together on a variety of projects over the last decade, and the acquisition of Château Loudenne is one of their latest ventures. On the ground, the estate has been under the direction of Philippe de Poyferré, previously of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, since 2016.
