Chateau Paveil de Luze 2016

A soft and alluring style of claret which is spicy and perfumed on the nose and opulent on the palate. This is classic elegant Margaux wine with great finesse and character, with redcurrant flavours and a soft silky finish.

Château Paveil de Luze is one of the oldest properties of Médoc. On the road of Cru Bourgeois, in the heart of the appellation of Margaux, in the small town of Soussans, stands a beautiful edifice with two towers that form a landmark on the horizon of vineyards. In front of the castle lie 32 hectares of vines. The combination of sand and gravel soils found in this area of southern Médoc are ideal to support both Cabernet Sauvignon and a high proportion of Merlot. The Margaux appellation always produces wines with a fragrant bouquet, supple texture and feminine softness. The Château Paveil de Luze is a family story that began in 1862 and has spanned seven generations so far. In 2004, Frederic de Luze took over the management of the estate. With his two sisters, Marguerite and Catherine, and their children, they write together a new page in Margaux history. Frédéric de Luze and Stéphane Fort, his cellar master, both succeeded their fathers to the Château Paveil de Luze. Surrounding themselves with winemakers in love with the terroir, they ensure the harmonious development of the vineyard, vinify with passion, and meticulous perfect each step of the wine process, from breeding to bottling.
