2024 · Château la Croix Lartigue

Château La Croix Lartigue is an 8-hectare vineyard in Castillon, Bordeaux, planted mainly to Merlot with Cabernet Franc, with vines averaging more than 40 years old. Maison Kavaklidere acquired the estate in 2016 from Stéphane Derenoncourt, Simon Blanchard, and Julien Lavenu, who had previously farmed it as tenants. The vineyard is managed sustainably without herbicides, using cereals and legumes to support soil fertility and aeration; vintages from 2020 onward are HVE3 certified. Derenoncourt Consultants continue to provide viticultural and winemaking expertise.
