French Lussac Saint Emillion Chateau Bonnin Pichon 2020 750ml*
The Lussac Saint-Emilion appellation is found to the north of the hill of Saint-Emilion. The first vineyard to be designated a World Heritage Site, the region is full of charm, with prestigious historic houses and Romanesque churches dominating its many hillsides. The vineyard is planted on hillsides, plateaux and at the foot of the slopes. The soil can be Perigord sand or clay-limestone, producing wines which can be enjoyed young as well as those designed for long ageing.
Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts and maceration of the skins. To obtain wine for ageing, rich in tannins, this takes 3 to 4 weeks. Ageing in oak for at least 4 to 6 months, so that the wine develops its bouquet and its aromas.
Grapes Variety: 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting: Candied fruit. Good concentration; the wine shows an aromatic structure based on spices (vanilla, coffee), though the fruit remains present. Ageing is controlled according to the vintage, to avoid grilled notes. 100% barrels or staves.
Best serve at between 16 and 18°C with meat and cheeses.“ Under the law of Hong Kong, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor in the course of business.”
