Description
What kind of wine it is
Cuvée M Margaux Rouge by André Lurton is a still red wine with a typically Bordeaux character. This blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, presenting itself in the glass with a ruby red colour and intense violet highlights. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet, characterised by clear notes of blackcurrant and hints of mocha. On the palate, it displays well-integrated tannins and a dark fruit aftertaste that brings a pleasant freshness. The finish is long, enriched by elegant notes of liquorice. Thanks to an estimated longevity of between ten and fifteen years, it pairs perfectly with red meats, game, pork-based dishes and mature cheeses.
