Château Liverson, 2004 Haut-Médoc.

Grape Varieties: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.

Located in the area of Saint Sauveur next to Pauillac, the vineyard has included Château Liversan and Château Fonpiqueyre since the XVIIIth century.

The soil made of gravel limestone on a chalk subsoil acts as a filter favouring the vines' roots.

Classified as Cru Bourgeois in 1932 this estate was formerly owned by the Marquis de Latresne at the XVIIIth century and by the Prince Guy de Polignac from 1984 until the take over by the Lapalu family.

The rather feminine character of these wines is expressed through rich tannins although strongly structured and with a great aromatic complexity.

Tasting Note: Steady garnet red robe. Nice nose of black fruits. Mellow tannins. We recognize the style of the appellation in the aromatic expression of blackcurrants and liquorice. Nice potential for ageing.
