Cuvee Jean Baptiste Lussac St.Emilion Rouge - Chateau du Courlat 2018

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.
