With knowledge and respect within the South African wine industry, Paul Boutinot has been able to source top quality grapes for the re-launch of False Bay. We furthermore have the advantage of having a permanent team in South Africa headed by CEO Jean du Toit, who also oversees our winemaking operations.

Chateau Loudenne Cru Bourgeois Superieur Medoc
Description: Chateau Loudenne, situated on the banks of the Gironde estuary, is one of the most delightful sites in the Medoc, the charm of which did not escape the appreciative eye of its owners, Marie-Claude and Jean-Paul Lafragette. Chateau Loudenne stretches over a superb estate of 132 hectares, with 48 hectares of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and 12 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Since the Lafragette family bought Loudenne in March 2000, work on the vines has been conducted with the specific aim of enhancing the individual character of Loudenne's terroir and therefore its wines. Accordingly, right from the pruning season though to harvesting, every task is carried out with the utmost care to produce better wines, even down to the job of thinning out the harvest and the foliage by hand in September to help the ripening process. Once in the winery the grapes are vinified in stainless steel or lined concrete vats and ageing for 16 months in the cask takes place, of which 30% of the casks are renewed every year. Great care is again taken when choosing different coopers. Here they are adapted to each specific wine enabling Loudenne to obtain complex more telling aromas. Commitment to quality is a constant at this winery and since 2000 malactic fermentation is carried out in all the new casks, here the aromas imparted by the vats are better accepted by the wine as well as this the age-old technique makes the tannins silky and the wines rounder. This wine is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc as well as a little 1%Malbec and is a very intense red colour. Its bouquet reveals blackberry, black-currant and cherry, while spicey hints and a latent woodiness add to the complexity. Its attack is lively and in the mouth, there is a roundness giving the wine a certain fullness. Its structure is compact and the tannin's purity contributes to the high quality of this finish which is the sign of a great Medoc wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru Classe Pauillac
Description: The Lynch-Bages estate is located just outside the city of Pauillac, overlooking the Gironde estuary, on one of the most beautiful gravelly outcrops in the appellation. The well-drained soil consists mainly of Garonne gravel. The sub-soil forms a solid, but fairly disjointed foundation, enabling the roots of old vines to grow to a depth of 6-8 metres. In 1974, Jean-Michel Cazes set about restructuring the estate. He equipped it with up-to-date technical facilities, but kept the old vat room dating from last century intact. It is now one of the Médoc's most unusual sights. The grapes are hand-picked and the wine is made in a vat room containing 35 stainless steel vats equipped with temperature control systems. Lynch-Bages made primarily from Cabernet-Sauvignon, is famous for its fine bouquet and rich tannin, which becomes soft and delicious with age. Lynch-Bages is powerful with a long aftertaste. It is typical of the greatest wines of Pauillac. The 1999 vintage is displaying a dense purple colour as well as low acidity. This blackberry and cassis-flavoured wine possesses a fat, juicy mid-section, and outstanding purity, ripeness, and glycerin in the long finish, which oozes over the palate with no bumps. The tannin is well-concealed by the wealth of chewy fruit. (12 x 75 cl)
