Producer Information

Chteau Laribotte is located in village of Preignac in the famous Sauternes region known for its production of sweet wines. It has been in the Lahiteau family since 1855. Jean-Pierre Lahiteau, who is the 7th generation owner, is in charge of the property today. With his endless quest of perfection, hes able to produce very crafted and balanced Sauternes every year and if he deems the quality insufficient, hell refuse to produce a wine that vintage. The vineyard is 17 hectares (42 in acres) in size split in three blocks in the village of Preignac. It is well maintained with rigourous pruning and low yields. The average age of the vines is 60 years old. The grapes go through the noble rot process where the botrytis cinearea fungus makes grape skins permeable which allows their water to evaporate and aromas and sugars to concentrate. All grapes are hand harvested. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged for cement tanks for 2 years, then aged 10-12 months in French oak barrels. Estate grown and bottled. Sustainable practices. 2,000 cases produced annually.
