Clos Lunelles – Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux – Red – 2017:

 

Clos Lunelles: The Limestone Powerhouse of Castillon

Clos Lunelles, a jewel in the Vignobles Perse crown, is situated on the highest point of the Sainte-Colombe plateau in the Castillon – Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. This red wine benefits from a clay-limestone terroir akin to Saint-Émilion, resulting in a powerful, concentrated, and elegant Right Bank Merlot blend.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage Profile)

• Color: Deep, inky garnet, almost black.
• Nose: An opulent and complex bouquet featuring intense aromas of ripe black fruits (cassis, blackberry), lifted by notes of vanilla, tobacco, licorice, and a distinctive chalky minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied and rich, the palate showcases dense structure and remarkable concentration. The tannins are substantial yet exquisitely velvety, achieving a perfect balance between fruit opulence and the freshness delivered by the limestone soil. The finish is long, persistent, and highly refined.

Pairing & Service

This luxury wine is built for grand occasions. For young vintages, we recommend decanting for 1-2 hours to allow the wine to fully express itself. Serve at 60°F (16°C).
