2009 Château Caillou Les Martins, Lussac St Emilion, En primeur, 12 bottle case

Plumy red fruit styling. Drink from 2013 - 2016

Eight hectares owned by Jean-François Carrille (see also Cardinale-Villemaurine) in this satellite’commune on the north east flank of the St Emilion appellation, about 6 miles from the town of St Emilion. The predominantly Merlot vineyards are planted on limestone and ferruginous clay; average age of the vines is a relatively spritely 20 years old. 70% of the wine will be aged for around 18 months in one vintage-old barriques, so the ripe tannins are further ameliorated and enhanced. This is an out-and-out Right Bank wine with all its attendant plumy red fruit styling, with the added benefits of a great vintage. Drink from 2013 - 2016
