Reviews

James Suckling 91-92

A fresh and clean wine with blueberry, walnut and hints of chocolate. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a crisp finish. Linear and firm.

Wine Advocate 91-93

The 2016 Du Courlat has a rich, slightly jammy bouquet with redcurrant and cranberry fruit. The palate is well balanced with juicy tannins, rich but nicely controlled with a very poised and tensile finish. Now this is a lovely Lussac Saint Emilion in the making. One to watch out for.
