Winemaker / Tasting Notes
Château La Plaige sits on a hillside overlooking the river Dordogne on the eastern edge of the Bordeaux appellation. The combination of clay and limestone in the soil means that the owner Frédéric Naud can make a wine that is powerful and elegant at the same time. Since 2000, Frédéric Naud and his wife Lise have been managing the vineyard with passion and respect for the family’s winemaking tradition, established by the Naud family for five generations.
The nose shows forest fruits and crushed strawberry notes. The mouth is rich with silky, ripe tannins and a concentrated body. Château La Plaige goes excellently with flame-grilled beef, roast lamb and other robust dishes.
