Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France — 64% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon
Pronounced aromas of tobacco, black fruit, roasted tomato, and subtle coffee notes. On the palate it delivers concentrated dark berry and blackcurrant flavours, joined by notes of dark cherry, iron, earth and touches of chocolate and oak. The tannins are firm and structured yet polished, balanced by vibrant acidity, leading into a long, elegant finish. Pair with roast lamb, beef tenderloin with reduction sauces, mushroom-risotto, or aged cheeses like comté or Gouda. Over nine generations of a long-standing family estate in the Saint-Hippolyte jurisdiction of Saint-Émilion.
