Chateau Lauduc's Bordeaux Superieur 'Tradition' is a blend of several red grape varieties, but a majority of Merlot. After fermentation, the wine is put into French and American oak barrels, which give softness and typical evolutionary hints. On the nose, in addition to typical red fruit aromas, there are hints of cocoa and vanilla. On the palate, it is warm, tannic, but velvety smooth in the mouth. Delicate drinking makes it ideal with light dishes, but thanks to its structure it is also perfect with stewed red meat dishes
