TASTING COMMENTS:
The colour is bright ruby. The nose is very fresh with red fruits, raspberry and fresh cherry combined with light spicy notes. The palate is round, fruity with a nice richness and a good length.
A beautiful premium wine from St Emlion. If you haven’t tried a grand cru from Saint Emilion, you are truly missing out on life.
FOOD & WINE PAIRING:
Aperitifs, starters, main courses, for barbeques or fine dining. Meats of all colours or cheeses. A wine to blow your mind.
The Wine:
Made predominantly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Saint-Émilion wines tend to have a rich, mouth-drying tannic structure, which is balanced by the more juicy characteristics of plum and black cherry fruit, along with chocolate and sweet spice, developing savory tobacco and cedar characteristics with age.
The best Saint-Émilion wines will exhibit a terrific mineral vein, the result of vines being planted on the region's limestone escarpment. Vines planted on sandy soils tend to produce grapes that make lighter styled wines.
Situated on the right bank of Bordeaux, the region of Saint-Émilion can boast of producing the most diverse range of styles, partly due to differences in soil types, from gravel to limestone to sand, but also thanks to production variations and winemakers looking to make their mark.
