Château du Courlat —
Merlot terroir of the Bourotte family in Lussac-Saint-Émilion
Château du Courlat is located in northern Bordeaux, in the Lussac-Saint-Émilion appellation—one of the so-called satellite Saint-Émilions, which often remain in the shadow of the big names but are equally skilled in their craftsmanship. The Bourotte family cultivates four hectares here, nestled between meadows, woods, and a pond that lends the estate its tranquil, almost secluded character.
The vines are exclusively Merlot — a decision that suits the region's clay-rich soil and gives the wine its characteristically soft structure. After harvesting, the wine matures for 15 months in French oak barrels. The result is a Bordeaux with a velvety texture, aromas of plum and dark berries, and a subtle hint of cedar on the finish.
Château du Courlat pairs particularly well with duck breast – the fruitiness of the Merlot complements the poultry's fat without overpowering it. It's also a worthwhile glass with braised lamb or a mature Comté cheese.
