Château La Tuilerie des Combes, Lussac St. Emilion 2006 Grape Varieties 80% Merlot 20% Cabernet Franc Food Matching Note: Will compliment grilled and roasted red meats, pan fried cutlets and medallions of game and anything utilising a strong, mature cheese. Tasting Note: Beautifully developed garnet-red in colour. Shows a very ripe nose of concentrated fruits of the forest and a dense palate reminiscent of black cherries and chocolate with pretty notes of liquorice and eucalyptus. The typicaly bordelaise structure is flexible, with soft, rounded tannins that bring a balance and add length to the palate which finishes dry and clean. Vinification Note: The 7ha of vineyards are located in the commune of Lussac, 8 km from Saint-Emilion, the medieval capital of this region. Under the guidance of new owners, the Count Henri Grelle and his son Vincent, the land under vine is planted in the traditional mix of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Francs. The wine making is traditional, nurturing the wine with the greatest of care until its development. The wine is aged in barrel in one of most modern cellars of the area with its new system of thermoregulation which supports an optimal maturation.
