The 2023 Lucien Rigui Medoc is a classic Bordeaux red from the Medoc, produced from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby in colour, it offers a complex bouquet of red berries, cherry and violet with subtle spicy nuances. The palate is balanced and rounded, with a fine, harmonious structure, fresh fruit and well-integrated tannins. The finish is long, fresh and pleasantly fruity. The vines average around 40 years of age and are planted on gravel soils, with traditional vinification in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats and ageing using alternative wood. A very versatile Medoc, ideal with grilled red meat, lamb, beef, veal, poultry and mature cheeses. Serve at 16-18 degC.
