CLOS DE L'ESPÉRANCE 2023 Lussac Saint-Émillion (Bordeaux, FR)

100% Merlot.  Just happens to be French Merlot and Bordeaux to boot!  Merlot is the most widely planted red grape varietal in the Bordeaux region.  It rules supreme in the red clays of St. Emilion.  Lussac Saint-Emilion is just to the west of the town of St. Emilion.  You simply must-see the historic wine town of St. Emilion & its underground Cathedral.  Lussac Saint Emilion is considered a “Satellite” village of St. Emilion – a neighbor to the expensive wines of St. Emilion offering great value.  This wine is one of those values, and it is great fun to show this wine proudly today.  The wines of Lussac Saint Emilion are often Merlot-centric with Cabernet Franc and\or Cabernet Sauvignon blended in for depth of flavor.

Bordeaux is perfect with your main courses at your dinner tables.
