Château L'Amour Cuvée Cupidon 2017
Médoc AOP
Loading...
Classic Médoc from a 'drink me now' vintage, with three years age. Best Sommelier in the World, Andreas Larssan scored the previous vintage 91 points and loved its kirsch, cassis fruit with its herbal spice and well integrated oak. Claret to snap up.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Château Amour has 26 hectares of vineyards, benefitting from their proximity to both the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic. Here, on its mostly gravel soils, with clay and limestone, it grows equal amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The maturity of the vines (25 years) helps promote excellent intensity of flavour, captured by the skill of winemaker Franck Duprat. A year's ageing in barrel (one third new) adds an extra dimension of complexity to the plush, ripe fruit of the vintage. Well structured, silky fruit with freshness, length and integrated oak make this a very appealing Bordeaux. Preferably open an hour beforehand and decant, then serve alongside roast rack of lamb, panfried duck breast, rich aubergine bake or strong cheese.
