Château Cap Léon Veyrin Cru Bourgeois Listrac-Médoc AOC

Name: Château Cap Léon Veyrin Cru Bourgeois Listrac-Médoc AOC - Vinumlector
SKU: FR0120-5

Family owned since 1810, the Château Cap Léon Veyrin originates from the meeting of Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin estate. Cape comes from the word “head”. In fact, the vineyards of Cap Léon are located on the highest points of Listrac-Médoc, favoring natural drainage and ideal sunshine. Nathalie and Julien Meyre, are the 6th generation of the family running this property, perpetuate the tradition: predominance of Merlot, collage with egg white, aging of 12 months in barrels, manual harvesting for young parcels and for old vines, while bringing their dynamism to this renowned Cru Bourgeois Supérieur du Médoc.

The 2009 Château Cap Léon Veyrin is a highly rated Cru Bourgeois red wine from the Listrac-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux, France. This vintage benefits heavily from the exceptional 2009 growing season, which is widely celebrated as one of Bordeaux’s finest “vintage of the century” years.

Following the legendary 2009 vintage, the 2010 growing season in Bordeaux is widely considered to be just as legendary—if not more highly regarded by purists—due to its incredible freshness, higher acidity, and massive structural power.
