Description

Château La Perrière – Lussac-Saint-Émilion 2020 (750ml)

The estate’s second wine, the Lussac St.-Emilion, is vinified at lower temperatures, with less extraction to preserve roundness, balance and fruit. The parcels are planted on more clayey soils on the southern slopes of the estate. Gourmand and fruity, this light wine can be tasted in its early years as well as being kept for a few years to enjoy more mellow tannins.

Food Pairing:

Roast chicken, Scrambled eggs, White meat, Sliced sirloin and small spring vegetables, At The Bordelaise lamprey.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Chateau La Perriere is bright and crisp. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of dried leaves, tart berries, and earthy notes. Pair it with a lightly-breaded, pan-fried veal cutlet. (Tasted: July 5, 2023, San Francisco, CA)

Big and firm, with dark chocolate flavors, this is a dense wine. It has solid tannins to place alongside the black fruits and acidity. With 85% Merlot, it is ripe and juicy. Drink this from 2025.
90James Suckling
Aromas of ripe blackberries, plum skins, sweet spices, dark chocolate and tree bark. Medium-bodied with chalky tannins and a polished texture. Smooth and silky mouthfeel with a flavorful finish.
