Benefiting from the same prized clay-limestone terroir on the Saint-\u00c9milion plateau, this bottling delivers a wine of immediate charm that retains the gravitas and structural integrity of a top-tier Bordeaux. It is a superb, more accessible expression of the estate\u2019s excellence.<\/p>\n<h2>Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)<\/h2>\n<p>A classic Right Bank blend, predominantly Merlot, this wine is noted for its polished tannins and mineral freshness. The blend is rounded out by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, adding complexity and backbone.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Colour:<\/strong> Deep, intense garnet with a subtle violet hue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nose:<\/strong> Rich and appealing, featuring concentrated black fruit (plum, black cherry) alongside sweet spice, cedar, and an underlying mineral lift.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Palate:<\/strong> Smooth and fresh on entry. The tannins are exceptionally fine and well-integrated, lending a silky mouthfeel. It is a harmonious wine with great energy, leading to a long, refined finish with hints of dark chocolate and espresso.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Food Match &amp; Service<\/h2>\n<p>For the best experience, serve this Saint-\u00c9milion Grand Cru at 16\u00b0C-18\u00b0C.
