Château des Landes 2009 Cuvée Prestige (Lussac Saint-Émilion)

Country: France / Cuvée Prestige
Variety: Merlot Bordeaux
Winery: Château des Landes / Lussac Saint-Émilion

Bordeaux wine should not have high alcohol; it detracts from the play between fruit and tannins, as in this wine. It is powered by its extracted structure, with flavors of bitter chocolate that leave the fruit behind.
