2025 Saint-Emilion - 1er Grand Cru Classé A

Proefnotitie

Vivid colour in the glass with absolutely gorgeous perfumed aromas, almost sweet purple flowers and blackcurrants. Really vibrant and expressive, so alive with a touch of medicinal herbal eucalyptus too plus blue fruit and cola. Creamy and soft straight away, silky smooth and so juicy, this is bursting with life and juiciness — such a pure and happy wine. Really focused, precise and detailed with absolute clarity but silky, finely structured tannins. Pure happiness in a glass. Super drinkable, a fabulous wine — succulent with the perfect tannin feel, creamy, velvety and really softly chalky on the finish with a cool mint and cola element that lingers. I love the construction and elegance here. Pure refinement without being too strict or tight. Similar to 2023 in terms of freshness. Perfection. Intense but not showing off, nothing out of place – a showstopper that is perfectly ripe with perfect acidity. 3.66pH. A yield of 25hl/ha. 90% grand vin. 8% press wine. (Georgina Hindle, Decanter)

Wijn-spijs advies

Houd de wijn en spijs bij deze gerijpte Bordeaux betrekkelijk eenvoudig. Past goed bij gerechten met veel structuur, bijvoorbeeld bij gebraden rood vlees, zoals lam of wild met klassieke sauzen, groenten en aardappelen uit de oven. Ook heerlijk bij harde kazen met lange rijping.
