The 2020 Clos Lunelles is composed of 80% Merlot, coming in with an alcohol of 14.79% and a pH of 3.65. It is being aged in French oak barriques, 50% new. Deep purple-black colored, it springs from the glass with vibrant notes of crushed black cherries and black raspberries, giving way to hints of wild blueberries, chocolate box and cardamom with a touch of violets. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of crunchy, energetic black and red fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and lifted. (LPB)

Purchased in 2001, this property of 9 hectares is situated on the hill of Sainte-Colombe, a clay limestone plateau. The vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
