Comment

Lumeau vineyards are among the largest properties of Sauveterrois. From 45 hectares in the 80s, there are more than 120 today, mostly distributed around the family home in Sauveterre de Guyenne. The typical clay-limestone soil of the region hosts the classic grape varieties of red and rosé Bordeaux wines: Merlot mainly, then Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. For white appellation wines between deux-mers, we find in equal parts Sauvignon and Sémillon. Some vines can reach 50 years, thus offering very qualitative harvest.

Tasting

Brilliant salmon pink dress. Nose of remarkable intensity has floral aromas of pink and apricot petal. The mouth opens with delicacy with its flavors full of nuclei fruit, apricots, peaches, is supported with a beautiful length and a great final freshness. A festive wine to taste from aperitif to dessert by a hot summer evening.
