Château Liversan Cuvée Sophie
Cru Bourgeois Supérieur
Haut-Médoc
 Registered as a Cru Bourgeois in 1932 Château Liversan was formerly owned by the Marquis de Latresne during the XVIIIth century, then by the Prince de Polignac from 1984 until the take over by the Lapalu family in 1995.
The fruity aromas combine with the roasted flavour of the barrel, the concentrated tannins are supple and elegant. There is, on the whole, a feeling of great harmony.
Area of the vineyard
|
From two very old plots of the vineyard, one of Merlot, the other one
from Cabernet Sauvignon, selected from the most ancient part, we have
produced a small quantity of wine which seems to develop, in our
opinion, the finest qualities of Château Liversan.
