“A farewell to Bernard LARTIGUE ” , Winemaker n ° 43, Dec. Jan. Feb. 2021
Bernard Lartigue died suddenly on October 27, and remains present beyond the vinosphere. All those who once crossed his path stayed to walk by his side to drink from the source of life. One of the most beautiful stories of the Médoc was written here, in Listrac-Médoc, in capital letters. Born on October 5, 1949, “this wine tip” of the peninsula began in the mid-1970s with 1 hectare of family vines until then sold to the cooperative cellar. Thanks to his passion and tenacity, in less than ten years he transformed a mixed farming operation into a 17 hectare wine estate, Château Mayne Lalande. His legendary verve was coupled with a demanding nature in optimizing maturity and controlling yields, all followed by careful breeding. A perfectly successful challenge, raising this cru from its first vintage in 1982 into the aristocracy of tannic spirituality. A pioneer of wine tourism in his appellation with Les Cinq Sens (5 soft rooms in the castle), woodcock hunter, Bernard was one of those who tutored the granary of Castelnau like the steak in the middle of the morning. With this warm man with big laughing eyes, the word was in the glass and the words to say it flowed easily: << For 39 vintages, I have been a genetically unprocessed farmer, and I believe that if I had to reincarnate, this would be in a Cabernet Sauvignon stock, ”he liked to say. And Mayne Lalande to become over time a tasty place of identity transcended by absolute ethics. / DH source: http://m.vigneron-mag.com

Located in Listrac on Bordeaux’s left bank, this 60/30/5/5 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot / Cabernet Franc / Petit Verdot includes aromas of oats, chocolate, cola, cranberries and dark wood and also includes a menthol lilt. Beautiful. In the mouth, a solid taste layered with black fruit. source: https://www.forbes.com
Guide DVE, Château Mayne Lalande 2017, 90 / 100
Deep ruby color with purplish purple nuances which color the glass, limpid and brilliant, with numerous tears. The nose is intense and rich, we perceive aromas of aging (cocoa, mocha, just ground coffee and vanilla), fragrances of fresh red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry). Airing adds notes of sour cherry, but also an interesting spicy and balsamic dimension. The palate is a delight, it is a complete, elegant and tasty wine. The attack is full and creamy with pretty fruity and juicy flavors that make you salivate. With evolution, we keep power but we have sap and the latter does its work to frame tannins that are nevertheless very present. The whole, although young, is smooth with freshness. This wine which is still a chubby baby will melt and finish to settle down. Final between fruit,
Opinion of DVE: Ce Listrac-Médoc a une âme et de belles années devant lui.
Myon de l’Enclos 2017 : 14,5/20

Purplish purple. What a beautiful expression of the bouquet with fruity and floral notes. On the palate, the wine is compact, dense, creamy and endowed with precise tannins, with fine grains which confer a suave touch; A pleasant, convincing, powerful and fine wine. Great success.

DVE, Guide des Vins : Château Mayne Lalande 2016 : 91 / 100
Ruby color of good intensity which colors the glass, with luminosity, and some tears. The nose is fine and expressive; it exudes fragrances of gourmet red and black fruits (cherry, redcurrant jelly, blackberry, overripe raspberry), liquorice and floral scents. The aeration incorporates aromas of aging that are expressed with restraint, toasted, smoked and roasted notes but also a touch of Havana leaf on a spicy background (vanilla). On the palate, the attack is full, ample with the juicy restitution of small black berries and liquorice. The evolution displays power and character with a well-established structure, on the other hand there is flesh and a fine material which coats the tannins present. The whole is young balanced with sap and, even if this wine still needs to bind, he has very good predispositions. Persistent finish with a hint of firmness, with a finish on zan, chocolate and sweet spices.Beautiful work for this tasty and pulpy wine which has yet to bind and digest its aging. Pretty, well-born, distinguished and distinctive Listrac which does justice to its terroir even if it is still in the making.
Yves Beck, Beckustator, January 2019: Château Mayne Lalande 2016 = 93/100
Garnet red with purple reflections. What an inviting bouquet! Complex, spicy, lots of fruit. On the palate, the wine is delicious, compact, creamy and perfectly balanced. Its tannins are powerful, well integrated, in synthesis with the structure which confers liveliness and race. The fruit is revealed slowly and appears at the end of the mouth. It will take time for this Mayne Lalande. Very promising.

Molliger Gaumen mit feinmehligem Tannin und charaktervoller Struktur; endet in einem langen Finale mit einem Korb voll Heidelbeeren und Schokonoten.

Not content to manage for more than forty years, with passion and competence, its 20 hectares of vines on Listrac and Moulis with its Château Myon de l’Enclos, Bernard Lartigue works in parallel as a hotelier, with very beautiful rooms of ‘hosts (Les Cinq Sens) in the heart of its vineyard. Hubert De Bouard has been advising it since 2010. Since this vintage, the wines have gained in finesse and density, always possessing a harmonious woodiness, proof of well-controlled aging, and a very appreciable freshness. 2015 is superb and remains quite accessible. A true Listrac of character which fully deserves its second star. Coup de cœur, Listrac 2015 : On adore le charme et le caractère de ce listrac. Nez puissant, fruits noirs, résineux, cacao, boisé toasté, bouche flatteuse, ample, avec des tannins voluptueux, des arômes qui s’étirent et un bon équilibre sur la fraîcheur.

Cuisine and Wines of France, September 2018, Special issue Chateau Mayne Lalande 2015
It is in this secret countryside that Bernard Lartigue, in love with his land and his vines, creates some of the most elegant Médoc wines of sky and light. In his cellar as a thoughtful winemaker, he writes this wine with delicate spices, sculpted tannins, detached and clear notes, played with talent and experience on the harpsichord of flavors.
La RVF N ° 623, July / August 2018: Listrac – Médoc, the most “continental” of the Médoc appellations by Sophie de Salettes
(…) The 38 plots of the Château Mayne Lalande vineyard are located three quarters on gravel. But for Bernard Lartigue, the owner, not all of them have the potential to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon that meets its requirements. “I really like the race of Cabernet Sauvignon and it always dominates in my wines, but my terroir does not allow me to have as many as I would like”, indicates the winemaker.

Guide DVE, avril 2018 : Château Mayne Lalande 2015
« Robe rubis d’une bonne intensité avec quelques notes grenat, limpide et brillante, avec de la viscosité et des jambes. Le nez est expressif ; il débute sur des parfums de fruits noirs bien mûrs (cassis, mûres, myrtille et cerise noire), de réglisse qui se mêlent à des parfums d’élevage élégants (grillés, fumés, toastés et torréfiés); viennent ensuite des parfums de coppa et de salaison. L’aération confirme ce 1er nez et malgré les notes boisées assez présentes il y a une réelle finesse. Très jolie bouche avec un vin concentré qui affiche d’ores et déjà de belles dispositions. Si l’attaque est ample et veloutée avec une expression fruitée et juteuse, à l’évolution ce vin affiche de la puissance et de la robustesse. C’est un vin opulent où la chair n’a aucun mal à intégrer la charpente tannique et l’élevage du vin. L’ensemble reste harmonieux même si la finale doit se fondre. Joli Médoc dans sa jeunesse, il nous invite à l’oublier un peu. Longue finale sur des notes toastées et fumées. »
DVE Guide, April 2018: Château Mayne Lalande 2015
“Ruby color of good intensity with some garnet notes, limpid and brilliant, with viscosity and legs. The nose is expressive; it begins with aromas of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberries, blueberries and black cherries), liquorice which mingle with elegant aromas of aging (grilled, smoked, toasted and roasted); then come aromas of coppa and salting. Airing confirms this first nose and despite the fairly present woody notes there is real finesse. Very pretty on the palate with a concentrated wine which is already showing good dispositions. If the attack is ample and velvety with a fruity and juicy expression, in the evolution this wine displays power and robustness. It is an opulent wine where the flesh has no trouble integrating the tannic structure and the aging of the wine. The whole remains harmonious even if the finish must blend. A pretty Médoc in its youth, it invites us to forget it a little. Long finish on toasted and smoky notes. “
“Château Myon de l’Enclos ” , Winemaker n ° 32, March 2018, Special crus bourgeois du Médoc, Jean-Luc Barde
“A peasant retreat, vines on the edge of the woods, sensitive and biodynamic attention, a few hectares of pure love: this is Bernard Lartigue’s Médoc. (…) The learning of taste begins there and that of wine slipped into the time of childhood, a cuisine of soul and wines of spirit, two sources that irrigate the life of Bernard, the peasant. 100% Médoc, a sensitive observer of nature that he honors every day. “

“After tasting about 1,300 Bordeaux 2015 in France, my team and I concluded that the 2015 vintage has lived up to its great potential in every sense of the word. Red, white or sweet, the wines show wonderful harmony, intensity, structure and freshness. Exciting and exquisite, the best of 2015s benefit enormously from this freshness quality, which derives from the slightly higher acidity and lower alcohol levels. (…) I do think that 2015 has truly made phenomenal, transparent wines that emphasize the greatness of their terroirs. This vintage is definitely a new benchmark for Bordeaux. ”

“Bernard Lartigue manages this Listrac property with passion and conviction. He develops a powerful wine, without rusticity, in a modern and very regular spirit. It generally ages well over a few years, especially as the vineyard has now aged. A sure bet for the appellation. The wines: the last vintages have gained in density and depth. “

“The 2014 Mayne lalande is exotic, bold and quite beautiful. Inky blue and black fruits and the full-throttle style suggest a late harvest, but there is plenty of underlying structure to carry fruit as well. Attractive spice and leather overtones add nuance as the wine opens up. The 2014 should be a terrific value. “

A l’aération s’ajoutent des notes d’élevage de qualité (fève de cacao, torréfaction et épices douces) sur un arrière-plan délicatement mentholé. En bouche, c’est un vin avec une certaine largeur d’épaule. L’attaque est ample, pleine voire même enveloppante, avec des parfums fruités charnus et gourmands qui restituent des parfums de fruits noirs et de zan. L’évolution est nettement plus étoffée, avec une matière dense qui contient des tanins qui doivent encore se fondre. La finale d’une bonne longueur est encore un peu ferme et s’oriente sur des parfums de fève de cacao, de vanille et de torréfaction. »
