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.

Tasting
Deep ruby red colour
The nose is powerful, revealing intense aromas of ripe black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant), balanced by a hint of minty freshness.
On the palate, the wine is full, rich and velvety, with a sumptuous texture that envelops the palate. The mouthfeel is exceptional, with a unique finesse and grain typical of this prestigious appellation. This is a very elegant and racy wine, with an almost perfect balance. The subtle minerality and ripe fruit blend perfectly with a freshness that is delicately preserved thanks to the controlled, almost wood-free vinification, giving the wine a bright, vibrant luminosity. Without a doubt, this is a cuvée that lives up to its name and can be enjoyed immediately. Its complexity and balance make it an elegant and racy expression of its terroir, ideal for lovers of refined wines with character.
