Château de Launay


Château de Launay is owned and operated by Arnaud de Raignac and his wife, Valerie Vonderheyden. Their families have lived in the Gironde and Entre-Deux-Mers regions for centuries. This magnificent property is composed of 150 acres of vineyards in the Bordeaux commune of Soussac, situated on the highest point of the Gironde region: the Butte de Launay. Château de Launay is a dynamic and innovative Bordeaux winery producing three distinctive wines: Bordeaux Rouge, Bordeaux Blanc and Vignes d'Elisa.

Arnaud de Raignac has developed a collaborative partnership with renowned wine consultant Stefano Chioccioli, who is responsible for the overall direction and style of the wines at Château de Launay. Crop levels are severly restricted to between ½ - 1 pound of grapes per vine (equivalent to less than one bottle of wine per vine!) Time honored, traditional and sustainable viticultural methods are employed, including green cropping between rows. During harvest, grapes are scrupulously selected and 100% hand picked, then delivered to a cool location within 4 minutes for additional hand sorting.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
