Winery History and Unique Quality
Founded in 1885, Château Langlois-Château is a renowned winery owned by Société Jacques Bollinger. The winery produces a wide range of high-quality Loire Valley wines and crémants according to the principles of Terra Vitis, a label that certifies sustainable viticulture with respect for nature. The grapes are grown without chemical pesticides and harvested by hand, contributing to the exceptional quality of the wines.
The Clos Saint Florent vineyard covers 15 hectares and is located directly behind the Château, above the Langlois Château cellars. The vineyard is walled, creating a unique microclimate and terroir. The vines average 35 years old, and the low yield of 45 hl/ha results in a wine with good concentration and rich flavor. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are rigorously selected in the cellar, followed by cold maceration for 3-4 days and fermentation in small tanks. Further aging takes place in French oak, 30% of which is new, for 8 to 12 months. This process gives the wine its toasted, ripe, dark fruit notes, firm tannins, and subtle vanilla notes.
