Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, April 2006

80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc. Dark purple with blue flecks in the ruby rim. Limestone and cool blueberry aromas. Wet stone minerality keeps the fruit aromas a little muted. Great blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate. Good acidity with firm tannic finish.

This is the greatest Cotes de Castillon I have ever tasted. The 2005 Clos les Lunelles is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Inky/purple to the rim, the stunningly flamboyant perfume offers up scents of black fruits, spring flowers, and crushed rocks. The wine hits the palate with unbelievable concentration, full-bodied power, beautifully integrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol, a layered, multidimensional mouthfeel, and a finish that lasts for nearly 45 seconds. This superb achievement is a tour de force in winemaking. Drink it over the next 15+ years.

From a 25-acre estate owned by Gerard and Chantal Perse (Michel Rolland is the consultant), it is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Yields were kept at a low 20 hectoliters per hectare, which is unheard of for such a humble appellation as well as terroir.

Shows wonderful aromas of crushed blackberry and blueberry, with hints of mint. Full-bodied, with soft, round tannins and a long, delicious aftertaste. Generous and beautiful. Best after 2012. 2,100 cases made. -JS
