Wine Expert Note:

This Château Lapelletrie Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is an elegant, complex and balanced blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark fruits, cassis, blackberry and notes of licorice and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and fleshy, with a firm tannic structure, juicy acidity and a long finish. Flavors of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, and subtle touches of smoke and licorice linger. Elegant and stylish, this is a great expression of Saint-Émilion terroir.
