Chateau Lusseau, Graves Rouge (barriques), Bordeaux, France 2015
{organic} 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec
BOLDLY CLASSICAL BORDEAUX. CASSIS, BERRIES & TOAST
This cuvée melds a classic balance of Merlot’s blueberry, Cabernet Sauvignon’s cassis and Malbec’s prune adorned with a sumptuous toastiness which is the result of a 14 month tenure in oak barrels. This truly is a masterpiece or, more accurately, a Mistress-piece since it is the work of a very talented woman winemaker who began with no experience in 1997 and has now captured the region’s full attention.
Serving Suggestions: Dry aged beef. Meat stock reduction sauces. Thick, juicy, gourmet burgers.
