2016 Clos Lunelles, Cotes de Castillion

From the team behind the esteemed Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Château Pavie, the 2016 Clos Lunelles displays a deep purplish-black hue and immediately captivates with expressive aromas of black cherry preserve, kirsch, ripe cassis and black raspberry. Subtle notes of violet, liquorice and exotic five-spice add nuance.

Full-bodied and opulent on the palate, it offers generous layers of decadent dark fruit, impressive depth and a velvety, finely polished tannic structure. The long, spicy finish lingers with liquorice and earthy undertones, making it a superb match for mature meat dishes or cheese.

Already showing beautifully, this wine also has the structure to gain further complexity with a few years in the cellar, making it an especially appealing choice for collectors and lovers of powerful, expressive Bordeaux.
