Comments: |
This is a top-class Saint-Émilion from a family-run château, and their winemaker Bruno Sainson have produced a refined wine with a wonderful expression of terroir. Apparently the grapes are hand picked from low-yielding vines which ensure excellent quality. They could even be crushed between the thighs of young French virgins, such is the quality of this wine. |
