The Domaine Saint-Lannes vineyard, which takes its name from the neighboring Romanesque chapel of the 12th century, is located on the magnificent terroirs of the Ténarèze, on the paths of Saint-Jacques de Compostela.
Operating the Domaine Saint-Lannes since 1955, and producing wines since 1982, the Duffour family has constantly evolved its production with the main objectives of respect for the soil, highlighting local grape varieties, and the pleasure taken in the tasting of his wines.
Surrounded by quarries whose limestone outcrops in some places, the clay-limestone soils allow Domaine Saint-Lannes produces rich, concentrated wines, very marked by an undeniable “terroir” effect and an unusual typicity.
The ocean climate and the proximity of the Pyrenees, with the particularity of having hot summers accompanied by cool nights, bring all their influence to the aromatic quality of our grapes.
Today, with a surface area of 95 ha, Domaine Saint-Lannes wines travel the world to meet epicureans of all origins.
Vineyards
Since 1982, the Duffour family made wines of great quality on the most beautiful terroirs of the Gascony. The vineyard is located on clay limestone soils and bring us a rich and strong wine marked by the terroir and a typical character.
Les Coqelicots is sourced from vines with an average age of 25 years and is made using 100% Merlot. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Gascony. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone.
Vinification
After the grape harvest, the grapes are taken to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully ground. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures.
Tasting Notes
An explosion of red fruits both fresh and confit followed by a lively, fresh and balanced palate. The finish is round and intense.
Delicious matched with Parma ham or grilled king prawns with tomato and just a hint of chilli.
