Saint Emilion Rouge Grand Cru Classè - Chateau Petit Faurie De Soutard 2011

Originally from the prestigious St. Emilion region in Bordeaux, France, Chateau Petit Faurie DE produces this excellent St. Emilion Rouge Grand Cru Classé, a wine that embodies the refinement and elegance of French viticulture. Created primarily from Merlot grapes with the addition of Cabernet Franc, this red wine is distinguished by its characteristic balance and complexity of aromas.

Visually, the wine features an intense ruby red color, while the nose reveals notes of ripe fruit such as plums and cherries, accompanied by nuances of sweet spices and a light touch of vanilla, stemming from maturation in French oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is robust yet elegant, with well-structured tannins that promise excellent aging potential. The richness of the fruit beautifully integrates with touches of chocolate and tobacco, culminating in a long and lingering finish.

This Grand Cru Classé is ideal to accompany sophisticated dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its structure and complexity also make it perfect to be enjoyed on its own, allowing one to appreciate every nuanced detail.

Serve at a temperature of about 16-18°C to enhance all its qualities. It is recommended to decant for at least one hour before serving to allow the wine to fully express its aromatic bouquet and structure. With an aging potential that extends over many years, this wine can also be a magnificent addition to any cellar.
