Château Cap Léon Veyrin Cru Bourgeois Bordeaux Listrac-Médoc 1985

Winemaker Notes: The Château Cap Léon Veyrin has been family-owned since 1810, when the two original estates, Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin, were merged. The vineyard of Cap Veyrin derives its name because it sits at the highest point, or “head,” of Listrac Médoc, and boasts ideal natural drainage and sun exposure. Today, Nathalie and Julien Meyre are the 6th generation of this Médoc family of winegrowers to manage the property. Their family traditions are perpetuated with care, including the growing focus on Merlot, the hand-picking of each grape, the practice of barrel-aging for 12 months, and the technique of refining wines with egg white. Nathalie and Julien now bring their own new experience and flair to the famous Cru Bourgeois of the Médoc. Points: 93 - Boutellier Wines
