2015 was the third warmest year since 1900... Drought conditions, above-average monthly temperatures and sunshine (in the first half of the year), cool nights and hot weather in August accompanying véraison (colour change) were all ideal for the vines!

Dégustation
This 2015 red Château Couhins-Lurton is absolutely charming and elegant. It is rich, heady,
round, and full-bodied – a real treat for the taste buds. The tannin is well-integrated. Showing
beautiful length, hints of vanilla, and slightly toasty overtones, this 2015 fulfils the promise of
this great vintage.
