Chateau Loudenne is a historic estate in the Medoc appellation on Bordeaux’s Left Bank. The estate has recently been refreshing its vineyard and wine‑making practices, including a shift toward organic certification and more modern vinification techniques.

The cuvee is particularly interesting because Malbec is a permitted but rarely dominant grape in Medoc AOC wines.

The wine is made from a parcel situated between river and ocean, cultivated on gravel/sand soils according to the estate’s website. The vinification is described as ageing in rather than heavy oak barrels, which indicates a style focused more on fruit and freshness than heavy oakiness.
