BORDATTO Lurumea 2022 Irouléguy 75cl Rouge

Grape variety: 100% Tannat

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

Aging: 18 months in tank.

Tasting: A pure, very fruity Tannat, with a palate of fine elegance, generous and balanced, without ever being too tannic or "rustic." The terroir brings a certain minerality and freshness on the finish. Best enjoyed after a good aeration to allow the wine to settle, paired with a flavorful dish, pan-fried ham, a good piece of meat... and a smile!

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