Grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Region: Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France
Critic Score: JS 92

Tasting Notes: A wonderfully approachable Saint-Émilion offering ripe plum, blackberry and mocha on the nose. The palate is round and generous with velvety tannins, notes of dark chocolate and a hint of spice. Excellent value from this Right Bank estate.

Food Pairing: Grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, duck confit.
