Lionel, and his brother David, are the 4th generation of the Latorse family to own this 300-acre property located in La Sauve, in the heart of "entre Deux-Mers" district of Bordeaux. With a lot of care and passion he protects a century old heritage that always kept the Château Gabaron on top of the local hierarchy of the finest estate. Low yielding, strict environment friendly farming, meticulous harvest and plot selection are their recipe to deliver the best of this singular terroir. Lying between the rivers Garonne and Dordogne, who both join in Bordeaux to create the estuary of the Gironde, the “Entre-Deux-Mers” is considered, along with the neighboring Medoc, a great Terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon. Shaped for millennia this Terroir, heritage of both the rivers and the inland sea, is made of sand, built up on a sub rock of limestone and marl with seashell deposit.
The Cabernet Sauvignon here is aromatic, fruit forward, unoaked, low alcohol and utterly easy drinking. The fruit profile is dominated by blackcurrant nicely balanced by a hint of violet and mint. The ripe tannins allow a very silky and elegant finish.
