Chateau Bibian

In 1857, Pierre Bibian brought together the vineyard that he inherited from his father. In 1932, Château Bibian was classified Cru Bourgeois Supérieur and changed hands in 1999: it was taken over by Alain Meyre, winegrower in Listrac and owner of Château Cap Léon Veyrin. Thanks to the help of his two children, he has breathed new life into the property and has produced wines typical to Haut-Médoc, with strength and elegance, harmony and a touch of modernism.

60% Merlot / 25% Cabernet Sauvignon / 10% Petit Verdot / 5% Cabernet Franc

Soil: Chalky-clay and Pyrenean gravels.
Surface: 20 hectares
Location: The vineyard is located in the commune of Listrac.
Average age of the vineyard: 40 years

Traditionnal vinification. Maceration in thermo-regulated vats. Vatting for 25 days. Ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 40% new barrels.

Intense and crimson colour. The nose is an explosion of red fruits notes (Morello cherry, ripe strawberry and blackberry) and mineral hints mixed with vanilla and spicy aromas from ageing. The palate is generous and full in attack. It reveals soft tannins offering a feeling of sweetness.

Serve at 17-18°C with beef tenderloin, lamb or a mixed salad with gizzards. This wine will be the perfect partner for a good selection of cooked meats or cheeses.
