Château Lynsolence – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2010:

 

Château Lynsolence: A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru of Rare Opulence

From the esteemed Denis Barraud, Château Lynsolence is a spectacular example of a modern, highly concentrated Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. Unusually, this wine is a 100% Merlot creation, showcasing the varietal’s capacity for depth and silky texture when grown on the finest gravel-sand soils. The wine’s profound character is further enhanced by its maturation exclusively in new French oak barrels, a signature of its luxurious style.

Tasting Profile & Provenance

• Appearance: A striking, deep garnet hue.
• Aroma: Rich and complex, with dominant notes of stewed blackcurrant and plum jam, beautifully interwoven with hints of mocha, vanilla pod, and fine tobacco leaf.
• Mouthfeel: Full and generous, with a magnificent structure defined by powerful, yet beautifully integrated tannins. The finish is sustained and deeply flavoured, promising excellent development in the cellar.

Food Matching & Decanting Advice

To fully appreciate its complexity, this Grand Cru should be served at cellar temperature (around 17°C) and ideally decanted for a minimum of two hours. It is the perfect centrepiece for a celebratory meal.

• Food Matches: Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic, Game Pie (Venison or Partridge), or Tournedos Rossini.
• Ageing: A wine with significant cellaring potential, best enjoyed after 8-10 years.
