✨ In the Glass
Deep ruby with violet highlights—this wine speaks of ripeness and richness from the first swirl.

👃 On the Nose
An expressive bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and plum compote layered with graphite, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and subtle mint. Elegant floral notes hint at violets and rose petals.

💫 On the Palate
Voluptuous and full-bodied with a core of juicy black fruits and savoury complexity. Earthy spices, crushed herbs, and hints of cedar unfold across a plush texture. Tannins are fine and polished, offering structure without harshness, and the finish is long, spicy, and mineral-etched.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with slow-braised beef short ribs, lamb tagine with prunes, or a rich mushroom and lentil stew. Also delicious alongside aged Manchego or Comté.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Drink now or cellar for 8–12 years to allow tertiary notes to emerge in full splendour.

🌟 Why You’ll Love It
Clos de Lolol is a masterful expression of the unique Lolol terroir. Under François Lurton’s stewardship, it showcases Chilean power fused with Bordeaux finesse—elegant, layered, and endlessly compelling.
