"A Golden Opportunity"

“The nose displays obvious depth and immerses the taster in a basket of fruits ranging from blackberry to blackcurrant, with hints of mocha and cocoa. From the very first sip, the palate is full-bodied and silky, enhanced by sweet spices (cinnamon) and supported by firm, tight yet fine-grained tannins. On the finish, the oak fades away to reveal juicy, beautifully ripe fruit. The Favorite was chosen by popular vote. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) A golden opportunity—buy by the case!

About the wine:

The nose displays obvious depth and immerses the taster in a basket of fruits ranging from blackberry to blackcurrant, with hints of mocha and cocoa. From the very first sip, the palate is full-bodied and silky, enhanced by sweet spices (cinnamon) and supported by firm, tight yet finely grained tannins. On the finish, the aging notes fade away to reveal juicy fruit of beautiful ripeness. The Favorite put to a vote.

About the estate:

This vineyard, which has been in existence since 1881, is located along the road connecting Saint-Émilion to Branne, in the southern part of the appellation. The terroir consists of a mixture of gravel, sand, and clay. Derek Egan has owned it since 2006.

This wine is a wonderful surprise, with an exciting character and vibrant fruit. Excellent value for the price. It's a shame it hasn't been available for sale since...
