Château Les Combes, Lussac-Saint-Émilion 2022.
100% Merlot from Lussac-Saint-Émilion, one of the nearby villages to Saint-Émilion itself, half an hour south-east of Bordeaux. “Lussac” makes wines of expressive fruit, slate-y structure, and potentially great longevity. Gold medal from International Wine Challenge 2024 and 91 Points from James Suckling.
Dark purple in the glass, deep blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, sloes, blueberry, and cherry jam, stoney notes of earth and minerals, while the palate is generous and robust, full-bodied but structured and food-friendly. Powerful, vigorous, and young.
