Château Loumelat 2012 Cuvée J.J. Lesgourgues Bordeaux France
With the triple distinction of being both a Wine Enthusiast and Travel + Leisure Editor’s Pick as well as an 89-point award winner, this gem has a deep-red color and intense fruity aroma. From the vineyards of northwest Bordeaux - one of the world’s greatest wine regions - it’s luscious, rich and crisp with a delightful smoky edge from wood aging. Ted Loos of Travel + Leisure says this wine “reminds us why we keep coming back [to Bordeaux] for serious reds: structure. Moderately weighted tannins are like the bricks in a house, holding things upright so that you can fill the interior with, in this case, the cherry and cedar tastes that come from its blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Pour this into a decanter (or a pitcher of any kind) for an hour before you serve it. It asks—politely, in the Bordeaux way—to be opened up.”
