Cuvee Jean Baptiste Lussac St. Emilion Rouge from Château du Courlat presents an immediate, measured and elegant character: aromas of ripe red fruit—cherry and plum—intertwine with light spicy notes and a subtle earthy nuance that recalls damp soil. On the palate the wine shows a balance between freshness and warmth, well-integrated tannins and a softness that makes it easy to drink; the sip is enveloping without being oppressive, with a pleasant and well-calibrated persistence.

Structurally the wine is composed, with good depth that supports medium-intensity dishes: meat ragù, rustic roasts or hard cheeses find a natural match with this Saint-Émilion. It is best appreciated with slight aeration and served at a controlled temperature, which helps to highlight the fruity notes and the final savoriness; a wine to enjoy now and to cellar for those seeking finesse and character without complications.

Winery history
Le origini della tenuta risalgono al Medioevo quando il feudo apparteneva ai signori locali; nel XX secolo la proprietà entrò nella sfera degli Audy/Bourotte e, tramite passaggi familiari, arrivò alla gestione attuale che ha mantenuto la tradizione di produzione locale. Nel tempo il domaine ha conservato edifici storici come scuderie e viali di cipressi. ([vinatis.com](https://www.vinatis.com/maisons/chateau-du-courlat))
Production philosophy
Vinificazione parcella per parcella con tecniche orientate a vini di invecchiamento; in vigna il dominio dichiara pratiche di viticoltura ragionata e una politica ambientale volta a ridurre l'uso di fitofarmaci. L'affinamento avviene sia in acciaio che in barrique di rovere francese a seconda delle cuvée. ([vinatis.com](https://www.vinatis.com/maisons/chateau-du-courlat))
Terroir and vineyards
Situato nella zona di Lussac‑Saint‑Émilion (Libourne) sulla riva destra di Bordeaux; i suoli sono descritti come argilo‑limonosi / argilo‑calcarei tipici dei pendii della zona, che favoriscono l'espressione del Merlot locale.
