Ambre de Maltus Bordeaux Blanc AOC

Vignobles Lassagne gather several family properties that were bought since three generations and are grown according to tradition and innovation on unique terroir located in the Libourne area.
Vignobles Lassagne encompasses these three properties: Château des Arnauds (the original estate), Château des Landes and Château Maltus, the latest addition to the Vignobles Lassagne.

History tells us that the origin of the Château Maltus goes back to the Middle Ages, in the time of the crusades.
The Order of Malta, well implanted on the land named Lalande de Pomerol, cultivated vines for the first time on the grounds of the Château Maltus.
Nicolas Lassagne acquired this parcel in 2015 of sixty-year-old vines with the purpose of producing this richly dense wine.

Ambre de Maltus is a very high-quality white wine worthy of the greatest Bordeaux white wines. A special attention is paid to the vineyard, as well as to the cellar to produce this cuvée. The alcoholic fermentation happens in French oak barrels, as well as a daily stirring during its ageing.
