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...

Tasting
Beautiful red colour, with hints of garnet.
Remarkably intense, the nose is dominated by delicious aromas of cherry and blackberry, enhanced by a subtle hint of tobacco. The whole thing is full of deliciousness.
The attack is full of suppleness, followed by a generous mid-palate that reveals a lovely volume. Although moderately tannic, this wine is easy to drink and full-bodied. It is a particularly delicious wine, pleasing at every stage of the tasting.
