  One
of the “lesser known” of the Big Six Communes of the Médoc
(Pauillac, Margaux, St. Estephe, Moulis, Listrac & St. Julien),
Listrac offers wines of distinction, richness and body with
the character of Cabernet Sauvignon dominating the wines. Located
fairly close to Margaux, Listrac wines can offer many of the
pleasing qualities of wines from Margaux at a much more affordable
price. Such is the case of this Cru Bourgeois Listrac-Médoc
wine from Semeillan-Mazeau.
Château Jander is the premium blend of the best wines
of the property, named after the owner of the property, Monsieur
Hans Peter Jander. The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon
and 40% Merlot and is aged in oak barriques for one year.
With the benefit of the time spent in the bottle, the wine from
this vintage is drinking very well now with lots of time to
mature. Classic Cabernet flavors of black fruits and nuances
of chocolate harmonize well with the oak to add a light toast
aroma that is pleasingly spicy and rich.
