Our oenologists' opinion
Well-rounded
This wine that has fragrances recalling the cherry coulis nuanced by a touch of sweet pepper and toasted notes is bedecked of a dark brick color very concentrated. With temper and a full-bodied side, this wine is well-balanced in mouth and has a pleasing winey taste. Its tannic structure is supple and concentrated.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
Do you know ?
To echo the chateau’s circular courtyard, the winery was completely renovated and built in the round. Not only is the result pleasing to the eye, it houses 200 barrels in which Lort wines are matured elegantly and respectfully, to complement the quality of the harvested grapes.
