Presentation
L'Héritage is a tribute to the expertise of André Lurton, a passionate winemaker. It is also a love story between this man and his vines, marked by his encounter with the finest terroirs of the Bordeaux region. With this selection of vintages, André Lurton has passed on to us his own vision of excellence, but above all his definition of what for him was a unique wine in terms of character and typicity...
The vintage
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Tasting
An attractive pale yellow colour with green, slightly silvery highlights.
On the nose, it reveals a remarkable complexity and intensity, typical of a Sauvignon harvested at full maturity. Aromas of white nectarine, passion fruit and citrus fruits, enriched by floral nuances that add an extra touch of elegance.
On the palate, the attack is round and full-bodied, with citrus and grapefruit flavours, enhanced by a pleasant freshness that balances the whole. The finish is long and delicious, leaving an impression of freshness and pleasure. It is a lively and very seductive wine.
