A MICRO VINTAGE

L'Esprit d'Aliénor is a small production blend of Merlot Noir (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) from a combination of clay-limestone and siliceous-clay soils in the Montagne Saint-Emilion appellation. With its dominant fruitiness and lovely freshness, Esprit d'Aliénor is a generous and velvety wine with supple and delicate tannins, very pleasant in its youth.

Age of vines: 40

VARIETY: Merlot Noir (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%)

Degree: 14.5

Winemaking and aging

Traditional Bordeaux vinification, followed by one year of aging in used barrels.

Geology

Clayey-sandy soil

Tasting

Superb color, an aroma combining that of wild berries with notes of pink peony; the tannin is not powerful, without being light, but it is particularly refreshing with a finish of citrus peel.

A word from the sommelier

A vintage to be enjoyed in its youth but which will undoubtedly perfectly defend the colors of its terroir and of this vintage after a few years of aging.
