We are in the heart of the AOC Lussac Saint-Émilion. In the Bordeaux region, on the right bank of the Dordogne. The soils here are clay and limestone, and the grape variety grown is mainly Merlot. In this case, the blend envisioned by the "château" winemaker involves the use of about 75 percent Merlot to which some Cabernet Franc is added. Traditionally vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, this elegant Bordeaux has a beautiful garnet-red color with violet hues. The nose reveals itself as powerful and expressive, with clear hints of ripe dark fruit and a subtle vegetal reminder. On the palate, it is round and satisfying. Ripe fruit notes return, accompanied in this case by intriguing spicy sensations. Try with savory meat dishes. Excellent with grilled lamb, but also with classic spicy cockerel or medium-aged cheeses.
