BORDATTO Lurumea 2024 Irouléguy 75cl Red

Grape variety: 100% Tannat

Terroir: Dolomite, Ophite. Very old vines on hillsides.

Aged 18 months in vats.

Tasting notes: A pure, very fruity Tannat, with a beautifully fine, generous and balanced palate, never with overly harsh or "rustic" tannins. The terroir brings a certain minerality and freshness to the finish. Enjoy after a good aeration to allow the wine time to fully express itself, with a flavorful dish, pan-fried ham, a good cut of meat... and a smile!

🍷 Serving temperature 18°C, decanting recommended 2 hours before serving
