Presentation
The "Let's talk terroirs" collection is the result of strong partnerships with wineries in appellations where we do not own vineyards. L'éloquence Margaux, for example, is produced hand-in-hand with the producer, with our teams supervising production from the vine to bottling. This wine reflects not only the expertise of Vignobles André Lurton, but above all the personality of its remarkable terroir.
The vintage
2021 was marked by very capricious weather. There was a lot of rain in the spring. An episode of frost at the beginning of April caused major damage. The summer was very mild, with no extreme heat. At the end of August, fine weather set in, with high temperatures during the day and cool nights: ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. These last few weeks were crucial to the success of this vintage.

Tasting
Attractive ruby colour, limpid and brilliant, reflecting a wine that is still young.
The nose opens elegantly with notes of lightly smoked blond tobacco, accompanied by ripe black fruit such as blackcurrant and blackberry.
Lhe palate is seductive with its suppleness and balance. The fruit, pure and expressive, coats the palate with finesse. The discreet, perfectly blended ageing adds structure and complexity without ever weighing down the fruit. Hints of dark chocolate add a gourmet dimension to the whole. The finish is fresh and persistent, carried by a fine minerality and hints of menthol.
