Tasting notes

« The wine has an intense, brilliant colour, it exudes aromas of black fruit, sweet spices. Upon tasting, the body is generous, the clean structure gives way to a beautiful roundness resulting from an always optimum maturity. The finish is balanced and fragrant with notes of blackcurrant. »

La Grande Demoiselle d’Hosten

Red

This Chateau, property of the Mommeja family, is a must-see in Medoc.

With the means to best express its terroir, the energy of an entire team is mobilised in a global process of improvement and continuous learning.

The largest portion of the vineyard is used for biological viticulture with the objective of a total conversion in the next few years.

La Grande Demoiselle is a special cuvée elaborated by the Château during the final blending.

This wine pays homage to a parcel of the vineyard of the same name.
