WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Haut Piquat Lussac-Saint-Émilion is dominated by Merlot combined with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The Merlot brings refined elegance and gives a more accessible and flattering side. Cabernet Franc gives more tannic and very aromatic wines whilst Cabernet Sauvignon brings spicy notes, fine-grained tannins and aging potential. Finally, Malbec gives wines with intense aromatic complexity that range from candied red fruits, blueberry prunes to notes of subtle red fruits of raspberry and wild strawberry. These separate components come seamlessly together to create a multi-layered wine that has been matured in french oak barrels that contribute notes of cinnamon and clove.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Château Haut Piquat Lussac-Saint-Émilion offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red and black fruits.Aromas of blackberries, plums, and cherries mingle with hints of dried herbs, cedar, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. There's a subtle earthiness in the background, adding depth and complexity to the aroma profile.
This wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth mouthfeel. The ripe fruit flavors of blackcurrants, raspberries, and black cherries dominate, supported by layers of spice, tobacco, and dark chocolate. There's a vibrant acidity that balances the richness of the fruit, leading to a harmonious and elegant palate. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak.
