SAINT EMILION GRAND CRU AOC
APPELLATION : SAINT EMILION GRAND CRU
GRAPE VARIETY : 70% merlot, 30% cabernet sauvignon & cabernet franc GROUND : Sand, clay & limestone AGEING: in oak barrels for 12 months /18 months TASTING NOTE: Deep purple with ripe, sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit and explosive violet, floral notes on the nose. There is a layer of sweet charcoal smoke too. The palate is concentrated in fruit yet soft in tannin with a ripe, fine texture allowing the sweet vanilla and mocha flavours of the oak to come through with the cassis and kirsch fruits. There is balance from fresh acidity and the softness of the tannins mean this is approachable now, however this wine can also be kept for laying down thanks to the spicy, smoky oak character and power of fruit.
