Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 de Lussac needs a little swirling to unlock wonderfully pure notes of wild blueberries, black raspberries and fresh blackberries, plus suggestions of pencil shavings and bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound with loads of black fruit and floral and herbs layers, framed by rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.

Dating back to the 19th century, this estate shows its pedigree in this still young, rich wine. It completes a trio of fine vintages from the producer, ripe with black fruits and still developing.
