Château La Cardonne's second wine, CHÂTEAU CARDUS marries the elegant style of its "elder brother" with a splash of vibrant youth. The younger vines we use yield a wine of unparalleled fruitiness and freshness. To conserve its aromas, CHÂTEAU CARDUS is simply aged for 18 months in stainless steel vats, then aged for another few months to a few years in our underground cellar. Its balanced blend (50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon) makes it popular both with lovers of fresher wines and those who prefer a more classic Médoc style.
