Château Courlat – Cuvée Jean-Baptiste, Lussac Saint-Emilion 

On the nose, it is fruity, fresh and offers a fine concentration as well as a certain delicacy. It reveals notes of wild blackberry/cherry, black berries and more slightly fresh strawberry associated with touches of pepper, licorice and a fine touch of lily and a discreet touch of coffee. On the palate, fruity and offers minerality, freshness, a certain juiciness, a mineral frame, a little tension and a fine straightness. The wine expresses juicy/fresh blackberry, pulpy/juicy raspberry and more lightly fleshy cherry notes combined with hints of lily, cardamom, fresh blond tobacco and a subtle waft of cuben pepper (in the background). Good length. The tannins are marked.
