Clos de l'Esperance Lussac Saint-Emilion

Clos de l'Esperance is 100% Merlot grown on 40+ year old vines. After a manual harvest the wines go through a traditional vinification with 20 days of maceration to ensure good extraction of tannins and aromas. The wine is then aged in 225L and 500L barrels, amphoras and wine globes for a maximum of complexity and elegance in the final wine.

A rich and round bouquet of ripe red and black fruit (cherry, blackcurrant), and a touch of vanilla. The tannins are quite smooth. The freshness and spiciness of the nose come through in the palate. The wine is altogether beautifully balanced and elegant.
