About this wine

This Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a full-bodied, dry red Bordeaux, with Merlot generally bringing ripe dark fruit and roundness while Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon add shape and freshness. Expect black cherry, plum and cassis alongside cedar, spice and occasional earthy notes; the degree of oak and the overall balance can vary by vintage. At 13.5% alcohol, it should feel powerful yet usually balanced.
