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

Drapeed with an elegant purple dress with these purple reflections, this cuvée, gives us delicate jammed strawberry scents. On the palate, the freshness of her body is carried by flexible tannins which leave a gourmet finish on the blackberry coulis. To taste without delay.
