2016 Laforge 75CL

Chateau Laforge is JCP Maltus' most senior Château or blended wine. It is made in the style of our Single Vineyard wines – including the cropping levels. It also represents his wine with the largest amount of Merlot – as Andrew Jefford, the writer, stated – “Maltus’s Merlot babe”! It used to be called Petit Mauvinon, a pretty uninspiring name. When they bought the Château in 1998 they asked if it had any other names allowed and up popped Château Laforge. On top of that, the previous owner’s grandfather used to be the local blacksmith!
