To fully understand the Lurton family one needs to be a professional genealogist, but if you meet a Lurton in Bordeaux it would be safe to bet she/he is involved in wine business. Marie-Laure is one of the 10 children of Lucien Lurton, and she owns Chateau de Villegeorge in Haut-Médoc and Tour de Bessan in Margaux. Villegeorge 2010 is blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (79%) and Merlot (21%). Attractive nose of cassis, cedar wood and violets. Still plenty of very ripe fruit at 10 years old, good concentration and length. Fine value today at 28 euro.

Dusty, mature, poopy old-fashioned Bordeaux-wine. Medium-bodied and highly drinkable, lots of cedar, cigars and forestfruit. Yum.

Dec 22nd, 2020Even better than last bottle. Fresher, more fruit and richness. Relatively low acidity levels, very smooth on the palate, cedar and graphite on the nose. Lovely!

Great body wine. Could be left in the cellar for another couple of years to develop its full potential. Cost €20.
