This stunning value Saint-Émilion Grand Cru becomes even more impressive when you find out that it was made by Denis Durantou of Château l’Eglise-Clinet one of the greatest producers on the Right Bank.
Saintayme is a pure Merlot from a nine-hectare parcel of 35-year-old vines in the commune of Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse. Plums raspberries blackberries and Morello cherries; it’s like summer in glass. Then notes of sweet grenadine cigar smoked meat vanilla praline and spices meld into the lengthy finish. Considering the price of l’Eglise-Clinet it’s an absolute steal especially considering what a sensational vintage 2016 was in Bordeaux. But don’t just take our word for it…
