The year was 1924. It was the heart of the Prohibition Era and wine’s darkest hour when it was outlawed and deemed unconstitutional. It was also the year the Delicato family first planted vineyards in California and farmed grapes that were sold to friends and neighbors.
A cool blanket slips into the area at night keeping the vineyard temperatures mild in the morning as the day heats up. The warm inland valley allows for generous heat during the peak summer months, ideal conditions to craft this full-bodied Chardonnay.

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.
Andeluna Blanc de Malbec is part of the winery’sLimited Edition family of wines. It is distinguished by its delicate and elegant presentation, silver and blue toned label – which represents the deep blue of the Gualtallary sky, fused with the subtle blues of the Andes mountain range and the gray ranges of the moon – and silver capsule.
A passionate tribute to the soil, its altitude, the Andes, and “la luna” —the moon.
Bordering the skies, where condors soar in absolute freedom, the sun, the air and the perfect soil in the area endow our wines with depth, balance and elegance. This wine embodies the ultimate expression of altitude.
“To make a white wine from red grapes, the skin and the seed are separated prior to fermentation. In this case, in addition, an intense decrease in the temperature of the liquid was carried out, to about 4ºC, which makes what there may be colored precipitate at the bottom of the stainless steel tank ,” describes winemaker González Bals.
Antoine’s grandfather, Gerard Clément, was one of the most respected winemakers in the region and one of the founders of the ‘Menetou-Salon’ appellation. He is still present on the domain and for Antoine he was and still is his great inspiration and example.
As a winemaker, Antoine feels like a conductor who transforms the soil into music. Every wine must be a natural reflection of its soil and requires sustainable agriculture to achieve this. The winegrower is the cement between the grape variety and the final wine.
He does not want to manipulate the wine, but only to accompany it gently. That is why all grapes are picked by hand, only gravity is used and no yeasts are added to get the fermentation going.

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 du Médoc.

This wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and recalls the «Heavy metal» note of its winemaker. Freshness and vivacity in the mouth, resonate like a Hard Rock album. The notes of white peaches dance delicately in the finish like a romantic stroll. An atypical wine in its shape and fruit.
