Château du Courlat Lussac St Emilion Cuvee Jean-Baptiste 2023

Clearly more structured than the Haut-Conseillants in the same range, with confident tannins, blackberry fruit and a salty minerality/sapidity on the finish. A good kick of pleasure. The 30% new oak will integrate further over ageing, fairly dominant now. 40hl/h yield, harvest September 26 to October 29 for this 5ha limestone-dominant plot of a 24ha estate. 90IPT.
