2016 Chateau Lyonnat Lussac Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

The 2016 Chateau Lyonnat from Lussac Saint-Emilion is a refined Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, matured for 18 months in oak barrels. It reveals a rich bouquet of blackberry, cassis, tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, it offers a smooth, velvety texture with balanced acidity and well-integrated tannins. Dark fruit, licorice, and subtle spice notes create a lingering, elegant finish. Ideal alongside grilled meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine can be enjoyed now or cellared to develop greater complexity.
