Tasting Note

Ripe plums, black cherry liquor and dried cassis provide sumptuous aromas while hints of orange peel, toasted allspice, fresh cinnamon bark and dried tea leaf beckon. A velvety, Merlot-driven mid-palate slowly opens into a multi-layered bouquet of red fruit, toasted baking spices, truffle and coffee bean. An iron-rich minerality provides a taut, complex structure, while fine-grained tannins and firm acidity grip the palate to sustain a long and elegant finish. This classic expression of Saint-Émilion offers a dual brightness and sophistication that will continue to improve for years to come.

Product Notes

On the palate, it delivers profound complexity, revealing layers of ripe fruit and polished tannins, leading to a long, tantalising finish. This Grand Cru is an elegant testament to the skill and tradition of Bordeaux winemaking. This wine will elevate any gourmet dining experience.
