The 2016 Lusseau, which is the property of the technical director at Château Pavie, is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a floral bouquet with pressed rose petal aromas littering the raspberry and cassis fruit. The oak here is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of freshness, a gentle grip in the mouth, some lovely blueberry jam notes surfacing towards the precise finish. This is a great Lusseau to follow-up the excellent 2015, and it comes recommended.
