Behold 2019 Arnozan Lussac-St. Emilion Rouge, a sumptuous red blend made from grapes grown in Saint-Emilion, a legendary area of France’s esteemed Bordeaux wine region. Carefully crafted from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc this wine offers vivid red color and plump fruit-forward flavor notes with a soft, and silky finish. Uncork this magnum, twice the size of a standard bottle, and this red wine opens with delightful aromas of black currant, blackberry, and fresh fruit this blend beckons to the senses. On the palate, the body offers an exact reflection of the nose with fleshy, light, and fruity flavor notes. Bound with rich history, this wine is derived from Lussac Saint-Emilion, an appellation found to the north of the hill of Saint-Emilion. With the first vineyard to be designated a World Heritage Site, the region is full of charm. Prestigious historic houses and Romanesque churches dot its many hillsides. The vineyards are planted on hillsides, plateaus, and at the foot of the slopes. In this region, the soil can be Perigord sand or clay-limestone, producing wines that can be enjoyed young as well as those designed for long aging. What is the story behind the Arnozan name? Cours Xavier Arnozan is the historic and strategic home of Bordeaux wine merchants. Linking the center of Bordeaux with the quai des Chartrons, an important commercial port in the 17th century, merchants based themselves here to export to many foreign countries where the wines of Bordeaux were already highly revered. Best served lightly chilled, 2019 Arnozan Lussac-St. Emilion Rouge makes a fantastic companion to dinner parties and special occasions of all sorts. Not only will this Magnum complement well-planned meals, but the bottle adds elegance to any table setting. Enjoy alongside fine foods including decadent pâtés, roast pork loin, stuffed mushrooms, steak, and caramelized vegetables.
