Chateau Livran Medoc 2020

Nestled in the picturesque Saint Germain Esteuil, just north of Saint-Estephe in the Northern Medoc, lies the esteemed Château Livran – a true testament to the rich history and exceptional winemaking of the Medoc region. With roots dating back to 1280(!), this historic estate has seen centuries of evolution, from its origins under the reign of Pope Clement V to its role as a symbol of resistance during the Second World War.

In 2013, Olivier Michon and Edwige Lurton-Michon, daughter of renowned winemaker Lucien Lurton, embarked on a new chapter in Château Livran’s storied history. Inspired by their passion for wine and driven by a commitment to innovation and tradition, they set out to revive this beautiful estate to its former glory. Holy cow, did they do a good job and FAST!

Through meticulous vineyard management and modern winemaking techniques, the Michon family has breathed new life into Château Livran, capturing the essence of its terroir with each bottle. From the complex and inviting aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and fig to the plush and intensely concentrated fruit palate of raspberry, mulberry, and cassis, every sip of the Château Livran screams for another.

Livran’s wines have garnered praise for their charm, balance, and age-worthy character. With each vintage, the estate continues to push the boundaries of excellence, earning accolades and admiration from wine lovers around the world. But none are as highly decorated as his 2020 bottling. 94 points from Europe’s most respected wine critic, Decanter? Forget about it.
