Château Fleur Cardinale
Over the years, Château Fleur Cardinale has become one of the jewels in the crown of the Saint-Émilion appellation. Dominique and Florence Decoster embarked on their winegrowing career in 2001, having previously managed the Haviland factory, which specialized in Limoges porcelain. Thanks to their hard work and passion, Château Fleur Cardinale was promoted to the rank of Grand Cru Classé in 2006, and is frequently rewarded for its quality. Constantly improving, the wines are the image of their terroir and owner, full of generosity and elegance.

In 2011, they acquired Château Croix Cardinale, a neighboring property with 8 hectares of vines. The Decoster family continues to innovate, both in its vision with an eco-responsible approach and in its communication. In 2018, it is one of the 10 most influential French estates on the internet, thanks to content that is pleasant, offbeat, educational, but always authentic.

"Very well constructed, deep and noble, with great taste! ~ Jean-Marc Quarin "

"Deep in color, the wine presents its aromas of chocolate, black cherry, plum, licorice, flowers and espresso with ease. Rich, full-bodied, lush and long, the layers of fruit express length, purity, balance and complexity, ending with a long, supple-textured finish bursting with fruit. As I wrote during the barrel tasting, this is the best Fleur Cardinale I've tasted in a few years."

"Collector's edition!

"A subtle, slightly woody approach is followed by a surprisingly full, flavorful palate. A little jewel ," comments one taster, "a construction in detail, a heady, opulent juice, quite sunny, with juicy red fruits. The whole is delicious, but also dense, with a very elegant tannic structure. You'll want to come back for more. This is an accomplished, racy wine with good ageing potential". (Terre de Vins 2020) - Delivery in wooden case for all orders of 1 magnum of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

"Sourced from vines right next to Fleur Cardinale, the 2018 Château Croix Cardinale reveals a deep purple color along with medium to full-bodied notes of spicy plums, graphite, licorice and earth. It's a ripe, sexy wine with lots of delicate tannins, a lovely texture and plenty of length on the finish. It's very much in the style of the ripe but pure vintage. " (Jeb Dunnuck 2019) - Wooden case delivery on orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).
