2019 Vieux Chateau Saint Andre, Montagne St. Emilion
Wonderfully rich yet refined, with dark cherry, leather, pepper and subtle oak interwoven with silky tannins. This complex wine outperforms for its price. From the winemaker at Petrus.

Inside Bordeaux
Fleshy sweet blackberry fruits with touches of brighter cranberry and sour cherry. The tannins have softened over ageing, still with plenty of limestone austerity but now showing attractive creaminess and smoked tobacco through the mid palate. Always an estate worth following, from the Berrouet family. Harvest September 30 to October 12. 80% manual harvest, 20% by machine, 20% new oak for ageing.

Vinous
The 2019 Vieux Château Saint André offers attractive cranberry, maraschino cherry and dark chocolate aromas on the nose. Heady but it is well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red fruit, hints of sour cherry mixed with strawberry and a smooth finish that needs just a tad more precision. Otherwise, this is a fine Montagne Saint-Émilion from the Berrouet family.
