About

This dry red wine from Saint‑Estèphe AOC (Bordeaux, France) is composed of approximately 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. Fermented in controlled conditions and aged in French oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby with garnet highlights. On the nose, red fruit aromas—cherry and currant—combined with earthy spice, pepper, and a hint of smokiness. The palate is medium-bodied, smooth and polished, with soft tannins and a clean, accessible finish.

Pairs excellently with grilled or braised beef, game meats, venison steak, mushroom dishes and medium-aged cheeses.

Saint-Estephe

All products from this village

Most wines from this sub-region are included in the Cru Bourgeois appellation. The soil is rather loamy and contains little gravel thus slowing down the water drainage. The vines here aren't fond of humidity which is why wine form this region shows the best results in hot harvest years. Wines are characterized by a juicy and fruity taste with soft tannins. The primary grape used in this region is Merlot that allows us to enjoy fairly young wines.

Bordeaux

All products from this region

Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
