Château Lieumenant
AOC Bordeaux Supérieur Red
Cardarelli vineyards, also owner of Château Pierron, has been a family history of winegrowers for the past three generations. After the parents, the three sons joined forces to contribute the very best of themselves. Helped by Martine and Valérie, the wives of two of the sons, the domain is at present operating at full capacity for the delight of our taste buds. Up until today, they have continually expanded the wine estate and modernised the vat house, equipping it with all the most highly sophisticated machinery. They are assisted by oenologists and skilled agronomists to give to their harvests the greatest attention, which leads to them to often receiving various awards.
Recently, the fourth generation has come to bolster the teams with new methods and ideas to prepare the orientation of their vineyards for the decades to come.

TASTING NOTES
Showing a vivid ruby red hue, this superb vintage already reveals an appealing bouquet of ripe red fruit, spices and violet. Generous by its fruity expression, it gives a silky sensation and powerfulness on the palate based on rich tannins, a promise of good ageing potential. A pleasantly well-balanced Bordeaux!
AGEING
This wine is to be savoured from 2020 and onwards, for the 10 years that follow this vintage.
