The Exception 2018, Lussac Saint-Emilion

An exceptional plot, an exceptional micro-cuvée, this signature wine is beautifully intense and extremely elegant. Resulting from the team's desire to extract the best from the terroir, the plots producing 'Exception' are identified each year based on the vintage during the harvest. This 100% Merlot vintage is aged for 18 months in 500L oak barrels. This single-varietal Merlot is rich and fruity, offering beautiful, firm tannins that blend well on the finish. A delicate, elegant and refined nose with notes of wild berries.A sensual palate with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and strawberry, beautifully tensioned by touches of chocolate and hazelnut
