Lanzerac Le Général 2019
ZV
Description
The Lanzerac Le Général is a classical Medoc style blend. The grapes for each variety used in this blend came from the estate’s best vineyards. All harvesting and pruning was done by hand with extreme care taken to not damage the grapes resulting in only healthy grapes being picked This ‘Left Bank Blend” was matured in a combination of new and 2nd fill 300 litre French oak barrels for a period of 20 months. The 4 varietals were individually fermented and matured before careful blending and bottling. This full-bodied Cabernet-based blend announces vanilla and nutmeg spice before a flood of dark berries, cooked plums and blackcurrants assail the palate. Dark chocolate and hints of smoke is supported by sturdy smooth tannins and an endless finish.
