"Sulfite-free and vegan!"

With nothing but meticulous care, this wine has found its true expression: Deep and complex, it shimmers with unrestrained aromas of cherry, raspberry, rhubarb, and violet. Pure and vibrant, it expresses without restraint the richness and smoothness of the clay soils from which it springs. What fruit!

About the estate:

A sprawling 92-hectare vineyard in Entre-deux-Mers, founded in 1920 by the great-grandparents. Its strengths include a state-of-the-art winery completed in 2016 and the complementary skills of Christophe Vincent (in the vineyards) and Fabien (in the cellar). Saint-Vincent is said to inspire them, but it is rather their advanced technical training and high standards that make this estate a benchmark for Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on November 16, 2022

A bold, "modern" Bordeaux. Admittedly, it hasn't quite come together yet. Still, the wine has substance—full-bodied and rich, supported by rich, full-bodied tannins infused with ripe, luscious black fruit and good acidity. The mid-palate is jammy, fresh, and strongly vanilla-scented. There’s a slight hint of Brett on the finish, though not really unpleasant—as is typical of a “Nature” wine. Very affordable at purchase. Enjoyed at 17°C with two larded and roasted farm-raised pigeons, served with peas and shallots in the pan juices. Rating: 3.5.
