"Deep garnet hue. Typical nose, toasty wood on a background of ripe fruit (blackcurrant, sloe, raspberry). Racy, elegant mouthfeel, with a silky texture and lovely fruit. A complete, healthy Saint-Emilion, already beautifully harmonious". (Le Guide des Vins 2017 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

About the domain :
An established name in the appellation, this estate at the foot of the Combes de Saint-Laurent came into the Mestreguilhem family in 1929. The original 7 ha have now grown to 26 ha. The estate has been run since 1983 by Richard Mestreguilhem, who was joined in 2014 by his son Jean, an agricultural engineer, who is now in charge of technical management.
