Grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Region: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France
Critic Score: JS 94, VN 90

Tasting Notes: A beautifully crafted Saint-Émilion from the outstanding 2018 vintage. Rich aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis and mocha with a hint of toasted oak. The palate is full and luscious with velvety tannins, dark fruit and a long, spiced finish. One of the best value wines from the Right Bank.

Food Pairing: Braised beef, roast duck, mushroom-based dishes, aged Cheddar.
