Château Prieuré Lalande Red

Home > Our Wines > Our wines > Château Prieuré Lalande Rouge

Château Prieuré Lalande is one of the most reliable wines in the Lussac-Saint-Émilion appellation. Ideally situated on a clay-limestone rise in Lussac, this estate benefits from the expertise of a team focused on producing wines of the same complexity and quality as the great châteaux of nearby Saint-Émilion.


label of 2019 Château Prieuré Lalande red

Wine style

Soft and Sensual

Grape blend

Merlot 65% / Cabernet Franc 30% / Cabernet Sauvignon 5%

Weather

2019 was marked by a fairly mild winter, resulting in early bud break. Spring rainfall was scarce and drought conditions set in in early summer. Rainfall in August provided a welcome relief for winegrowers.

Tasting Comment

Appearance

Colour is a nice cherry red with a medium intensity.

Nose

The nose is very intense and gives off delicious notes of ripe fruit with a hint of vanilla. The whole is very pleasant.

Mouth

The attack has a nice sweetness. Moderately powerful, balanced and delicate, this is a gourmet wine that will seduce many with its immediate drinkability. This light Prieuré Lalande can be served with beef consommé, grilled loin of pork or stuffed tomatoes.

Consumption period

2022 - 2028
