Saint-Julien 4° Grand Cru Classé 2023 - Parker 93-94

Winemaker and vineyard: The vineyard is composed of the four noble Medoc grape varieties: 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The heart of the vineyard is located on two plateaus of deep Garonne gravels from the Güntz era on the edge of the Gironde, a preferred terroir for Cabernet Sauvignons. These are indeed these famous Medoc gravel hilltops, in proximity to the Gironde, which offer the best conditions for the flourishing of Bordeaux grape varieties. Restoring the heat of the sun during the night, and draining excess rainwater, the vine finds there the ideal conditions to ripen its grapes. These will give wines, of a deep red, balanced and generous, both silky and powerful.

Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C), to accompany a skewer of lamb simmered with spices.
