Decant gently; serve 55-58 F; drink 2023 - 2030; 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon - aged 18 months in 50% new French Oak; Clos Lunelles was purchased by Gerard Perse, owner of the highly esteemed Chateau Pavie in nearby St-Emilion. The estate is located in Cotes de Castillon, one of the several sub-regions along Bordeaux's "Right Bank" offering incredible value wines, though sometimes simple. However, this is not the case with Clos Lunelles. Perse's team treats their vineyards and the wine in a similar manner as Pavie with high extraction and judicious use of oak. The wine is considered the pinnacle of the Cotes de Bordeaux appellations. These bottles were aged at the estate until last year, so they are already quite mature; however, you can expect to continue to enjoy this wine for up to another 10 years.
