Château Luchey-Halde red 2015

This vintage gathered all the necessary conditions to make a great vintage. Flowering occurredrelatively early at the end of May and took place in ideal conditions, allowing a homogeneous fruit set. The exceptionally hot and dry conditions in June and July, allowed the establishment of a water stress necessary for the proper maturity of the grapes. The mild weather during the harvest made it easier to harvest grapes at their optimal maturity. The result is a wine of very high quality: fruity, complex, powerful, and long in the mouth. This wine has a beautiful bright garnet colour. The nose is finely peppery with notes of blackcurrant and hazelnut. On the palate, the attack is fresh with floral notes of violet and a hint of raspberry and cocoa. The tannins are supple and fine. The finish is rich and gourmet. Hand-harvested, this wine is vinified in small, temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, undergoes maceration for 4 to 5 weeks, and is aged for 12 months in barrels, with 50% new oak.
