From the Robin family, the 2012 Laussac basic cuvée is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Dense ruby/purple with sweet black cherry fruit intermixed with licorice, earth and spice, it is medium-bodied, rather opulent, lush, and very sexy and endearing. A major sleeper of the vintage, it should be drunk over the next 4-5 years.
