This impressive St Émilion, hailing from the same stable as L'Église Clinet in Pomerol, is a 100% Merlot wonder. Sourced from special rootstock and 35-year-old vines, the palate has unfolding, ripe cherries, and a hint of darker tones lingering in the finish. It stays fruit-focused till the end, truly standing out as an excellent wine.
A contender for every cellar, this bottle is a superb value claret from the Right Bank.
What the critics say:
"Ripe fruit with chocolate, spice and hints of raisins. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Really delicious. Drink now."
"Saintayme 2017 is 100% merlot and has a medium to deep garnet color. It soars with delightful scents of raspberry coulis, black cherries, and warm plums, plus hints of lavender and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied the palate is lively and refreshing with elegant black fruit layers and a fine-grained texture, finishing with a minerally lift."
"Warm plum sauce and raspberry reduction flavors give this a lush and seductive feel, with well-embedded apple wood and anise notes adding detail on the polished finish."
