Chateau Du Courlat Cuvee Lussac-Saint-Emilion 2016 Bordeaux Red Wine

Step into your main character era with the Chateau Du Courlat Cuvee Jean-Baptiste Lussac-Saint-Emilion 2016. Coming from a seriously hyped vintage, this 100% Merlot pour is an absolute mood, serving up a rich, concentrated aesthetic of dark plums, juicy blackberries, and a bougie hint of cedar and smoke. Because it’s their top-tier cuvée, it gets the royal treatment with French oak aging, giving the tannins a snatched, velvety texture that’s insanely smooth to sip right now. It totally understood the assignment for a luxe night in—bold, plush, and bringing major Right Bank energy without the massive St.-Émilion Grand Cru price tag. No cap, this is the ultimate flex to pair with a juicy steak or an elite, curated cheese board.
