Chateau La Fleur de Blanchon 2005 RED France

Wine guru Robert Parker rates Lussac "a veritable treasure trove for Saint-Emilion bargains" while Hugh Johnson considers the wines "excellent". But what if the vintage is one of the best in several decades? You can rest assured the wines will thrill - none more so than our top choice - Chateau La Fleur Blanchon. Oak-aged and merlot-rich this stunning vintage claret boasts ripe blackberry and liquorice fruit with velvet tannins and a long mocha-scented finish. Decant and serve with roast lamb or beef or a mixed feathered game casserole.
