Château Laniote is a family owned estate which has stayed family sized. The owners, the La Filolie family, have owned the estate and many monuments in the village for generations.
What I love about this château is that it is the owners that guide you around the winery. Madame, who is an oenologist, really gentle and kind or you get her husband who is extravagant, sharing and very funny. This is naturally how they are, you might even get the chance to participate in a couple of magic tricks, which Mr LaFilolie loves.
They both give you a great insight into wine and the château itself. There is a helpful video during the visit meaning that at whatever period you come you can understand the year round wine making process.
Château Laniote is a Grand Cru Classé of 80% merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon only hand picked.
