What they make
The range includes Château Labadie, Château Laroche Joubert and Château Moulin des Richards. Château Labadie 2020 is a red Côtes de Bourg made from 51% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. The must fermented in steel tanks, then the wine spent time in small French oak barrels.
