Château de Barbe Blanche 2023

Bordeaux Primeur | Lussac-Saint-Émilion AC

A beard always well trimmed!
This red wine from Château de Barbe Blanche reveals heady aromas of morello cherry, blackberry and blueberry, coated with toasted notes. Merlot dominates in the blend, guaranteeing a mouthfeel of beautiful volume, supple, round, with a well-integrated tannin structure. Good news, the Lussac-Saint-Émilion appellation is not that well known, it is one of the 'satellites', which still hide such treasures!
