Château du Lort 2021

Deep ruby with garnet highlights, the 2021 Château du Lort opens with aromas of ripe cassis, black cherry, and plum, layered with cedar, graphite, and subtle hints of tobacco leaf. The palate is polished and harmonious, showing generous dark fruit wrapped in fine-grained tannins. Notes of spice and toasted oak add depth, while a fresh acidity keeps the wine lively. The finish is long and balanced, with lingering flavours of blackberry and savoury earth.

Château du Lort is a historic estate situated just outside Bordeaux, in the commune of Camblanes-et-Meynac. Built in the 18th century, the château has been restored and modernised, combining tradition with contemporary winemaking techniques. The vineyards are planted predominantly to Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, on clay-limestone soils that lend both structure and elegance. The 2021 vintage reflects the estate’s philosophy of producing wines that are both approachable in youth and capable of graceful ageing.
