Deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruit. Silky, round and smooth taste, with raspberry and blackcurrant. Powerful and complex finish.
Pairs well with beef cooked with sauce, 'bourguignon' beef and vegetables, 'bordelaise' rib steak.
"Mainly Merlot with a touch of the two Cabernets, this wine presents dark fruits and generous tannins. It is balanced, the black fruits fully integrated with acidity and structure. Drink from 2023. - ROGER VOSS"

"This smoky, fruity wine shows obvious wood aging but also plenty of black fruits. Spice, tannins and final acidity add to the mix. Give them time to all come together and drink from 2020. - Roger Voss"

"Based on 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc, brought up in tank, the 2016 Chateau des Landes Cuvée Tradition has a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated style to go with classic chocolaty red and black fruits, licorice, and spicy overtones. It’s well-made, has plenty of fruit, and a delicious character ideal for drinking over the coming 7-8 years.."

"More spice, sandalwood, licorice, and assorted chocolaty fruits emerge from the 2015 Chateau des Landes Cuvée Tradition, which offers more richness and breadth than the 2016. Medium to full-bodied, fruit-loaded, and incredibly satisfying, especially at the price, it’s a terrific wine geared for drinking over the coming 6-8 years. As with the 2016, the blend is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc."

"Dominated by 80% Merlot, this ripe and firm wine is full of red berry fruits with a solid, dry core that comes from the fruit tannins. The tannins are still young, still solid, so the wine even with its fruitiness needs to age. Drink from 2016. - RV"

"Powered by considerable tannins, this Merlot-based wine is firm and concentrated. Its fruit shows intense black plum skin and berry flavors that push through the dark structure. It's a rich wine that needs time. Drink from 2018. — R.V."
