Description

Château Lyonnat 1966

Lussac-Saint-Émilion

A rare and characterful mature Bordeaux from the Right Bank, this 1966 Château Lyonnat offers a fascinating glimpse into the longevity of traditional Saint-Émilion wines. Produced in a classic vintage, it has evolved gracefully over the decades, developing the complex tertiary aromas that collectors and enthusiasts seek.

On the nose, it reveals a delicate bouquet of dried red fruits, autumn leaves, cedar wood and old leather, with subtle hints of tobacco and forest floor. The palate is soft and fully mature, showing gentle notes of stewed plum, redcurrant and earthy spice, supported by fine, resolved tannins. There is a pleasing savoury edge throughout, with nuances of truffle and dried herbs leading into a long, mellow finish.

This is a wine that speaks more of elegance and history than power, best appreciated by those who enjoy the subtle complexity of fully aged claret.

Food Pairing:
Perfect alongside roast lamb, game dishes, mushroom-based recipes or a simple selection of mature cheeses.

Serving Advice:
Stand upright for 24 hours before opening to allow sediment to settle. Decant carefully and serve at cellar temperature. Best enjoyed soon after opening.
