The 2017 Château Lespault-Martillac, which is made by the team at Domaine de Chevalier, is a Merlot-dominated cuvée that includes 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, all aged in 35% new French oak. It offers a ripe, expansive, nicely concentrated profile to go with classic red and black fruits, smoked earth, chocolate, and dried herb-like aromas and flavors. It’s a medium-bodied Pessac-Léognan that will drink nicely on release and over the following 10-15 years.
