Ch\u00e2teau Larrivaux&#8217;s terroir is composed of 70% clay-gravel soil and 30% clay-limestone, giving its wines power and elegance. In contrast to the classic M\u00e9doc grape varieties, Ch\u00e2teau Larrivaux stands out for its choice to grow mainly Merlot, which is better adapted to the terroir, resulting in rounder, fleshier wines: &#8220;the true Larrivaux signature&#8221;.<br \/>\nIn 2009, flowering and fruit set were early. They began in early June, when the weather was warm, sunny and relatively dry. Veraison was also premature, taking place after an insufficiently dry period in early July. Ripening of the grapes was complete thanks to the warm but variably wet months of August and September. Harvesting began on September 30 and ended on October 15, in a climate that was hot and cool at the end. Ch\u00e2teau Larrivaux is distinguished by its deep ruby color. The nose reveals lovely aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry and licorice. The palate is supple and tightly textured, with elegant, well-melted tannins. A perfectly balanced wine with good length.        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domaine de Larrivaux is located in Cissac-M\u00e9doc, a neighboring commune of the prestigious Saint-Estephe appellation, and extends over 75 hectares, 19 of which are dedicated to viticulture.
