La Fleur de Chateau Haut Piquat, Lussac-Saint-Emilion, France 2012

Description

The 2012 La Fleur de Château Haut Piquat from Lussac-Saint-Émilion is a fully mature Right Bank Bordeaux showing warm notes of black plum, dried cherry, cedar, and tobacco with a touch of earthy spice. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, with softened tannins, gentle oak influence, and a savory finish that leans more classic than bold. Approachable and resolved, it’s drinking nicely now and best enjoyed without extended cellaring.
