“A great wine with character!”
“Subtly fruity, the bouquet of Cap St-George also reveals hints of tobacco and pepper. Its terroir gives it a refreshing liveliness with a crisp, juicy character. What character! A wine to watch as it matures. Beautiful tannic structure. ” (Yves Beck 2021) - Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Pickup Point delivery method)

Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
From the terrace at Cap Saint Georges, one looks out over the 19 hectares that make up Jean-Philippe Janoueix’s estate. The vines stretch all the way to the stone walls in perfect rows, a sight accentuated by the south-facing slope. The first vintages from this new estate are rich and spicy.

About the estate:
The son of Jean-François Janoueix, Jean-Philippe Janoueix first settled in Lalande before founding Château La Confession in 2001 as a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, a merger of Château Haut-Pontet (now the second wine) and Château Barreau. He also produces Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, and Bordeaux Supérieur.
