2011 Paveil de Luze

Long owned (over 150 years) by the family of the Baron Alfred de Luze, Paveil de Luze has been making good wines over the past decade. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2011 offers a fragrant, seductive bouquet of plums, black cherries, spice and earth. Not a big wine, it possesses excellent balance, purity and equilibrium. This seductive, charming, lush, well-made sleeper of the vintage can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years.
