Château Prieuré Lalande Red
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.
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.
