2017 · Haut-Médoc

Château Larose-Trintaudon is a Bordeaux estate spanning the Haut-Médoc and Saint-Estèphe. Owned by the Allianz insurance group since 1986, it combines large-scale production with a strongly documented sustainability programme. The estate avoids weed killers and synthetic pesticides, preserves 36% of its land for flora and fauna, and measures carbon capture using Net Carbon technology with infrared and satellite imaging. It was an early adopter of certified environmental and quality systems, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and AFNOR Engaged CSR certification, and has received AFNOR’s “exemplary” rating five times. Its wines reflect the Médoc setting, though the supplied information does not identify individual winemakers or provide further stylistic detail.
