Red Blend, Bordeaux

The perfect Lussac Saint Emilion blend! Very good velvety tannic structure and full of bright fruits yet not too heavy on the palet. This is a wonderful wine to pair with food. 45% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc Open the morning of or decant a few hours prior to get the most out of this 2019 that could age for quite some time.   About Chateau Vieux Fournay: Thierry & Frederique Vergnaud took over from his family in 1992. Located just north from the village of Lussac, the family has owned the property for over 150 years, spread over 5 generations. The vineyards spread over 13 hectares in the Lussac Saint-Emilion appellation and 5 hectares in the Bordeaux appellation.
