Description

Characterised by a beautiful dark purple dress with a red fruit character on the nose, it reveals flavours of fresh red berries, mocha and a hint of spice. In the mouth, it has a good structure and offers fruit, a generous body with finesse and a remarkable silkiness. This is a very pleasant wine, perfectly vinified and with good persistence and character.

Situated next to the famous chateaux of Pavie & La Gaffeliere, this is an intense and bold Saint-emilion Grand Cru. Old vines (80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc) provide an intense concentration of dark plummy fruit, graphite & toastiness; finishing very long.

This is a beautiful style of Saint-Emilion, combining elegance and power—an excellent wine for the money.

Chateau Chante-Alouette

Château Chante-Alouette, in the heart of the Saint-Emilion appellation, was taken over in 1995 by the Guy d'Arfeuille family, which owned other vineyards in the Libournais. The estate was able to benefit from the experience of its elders. Benoit d'Arfeuille has been able to boost this cru by increasing the production area and by practicing a vinification that combines tradition and modernity.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
