CLOS SAINT JULIEN - ORGANIC: A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé of Distinction

The CLOS SAINT JULIEN - BIO is an organic jewel from the heart of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé appellation. This micro-property, managed by the talented Catherine Papon-Nouvel, sits on the prized limestone plateau, yielding a wine of extraordinary finesse and concentration. Recognized in the 2022 classification, this Right Bank blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc offers a classic, yet flamboyant, Bordeaux experience. Its organic certification speaks to the meticulous, garden-like care given to its ancient vines.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage Profile)

• Appearance: A deep, vibrant garnet hue.
• Bouquet: A complex array of dark berries and plums, complemented by elegant secondary notes of fine tobacco, cedar, lavender, and a subtle minerality.
• Flavour Profile: Full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a plush, velvety texture. The fine-grained tannins integrate seamlessly, leading to a powerful, exceptionally long finish.

Serving Suggestions & Food Match

For optimal enjoyment, serve slightly below room temperature (16-18°C) following an hour or two of decanting. A magnificent wine for a special occasion.

• Food Match: Beef Wellington with a rich Duxelles, Slow-Roast Shoulder of Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic, Pan-Seared Venison, or a cheeseboard featuring Mature Stilton.
