Merlot, Cabernet Franc
75cl * Vegan * 14% ABV * Lussac-Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France
Lussac-St-Emilion is a bit further inland than its more prestigious neighbours, meaning its slightly warmer, hence the 14% alcohol. But like its neighbours it has clay soil allowing for a healthy water retention and great Merlot being able to be produced.
Produced to bring a modern twist to a classic style, presumably the value and approachability of this wine. It doesn't require aging in a cellar for a lifetime. Its classy and approachable. A classic claret with dark fruit and earthy undertones. Smooth with a pleasing finish. A pleasant easy drinking wine.
As the French love to call us Les Robifs, embrace it and enjoy this French wine with a classic bit of roast beef or in fact any roast. A grand accompaniment to those humble family roast dinners.
