2010 Château Fleur Cardinale – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

Rødvin – Helflaske 75cl. Leveres i originale trækasser á 12 flasker

VINBESKRIVELSE:
Château Fleur-Cardinale på 18 hektar ligger øst for Saint-Émilion med udsigt over landsbyen Saint-Étienn-de-Lisse har siden 1980’erne constant forbedret produktionsforholdene, og som følge deraf til stadighed producerer bedre vin. Siden Dominique Decoster i 2001 overtog slottet og allierede sig med den talentfulde vin-mager Stéphane Asséo er udviklingen gået rigtigt hurtigt, og det var derfor kun forventeligt, at slottet i 2006 kunne smykke sig med klassifikationen Grand Cru Classé.

RATINGS:
95 point Parker, der skriver:
“Dense ruby/purple, it tips the scales at 15% natural alcohol and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Full-bodied in texture, it offers up loads of blueberry, blackberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with some cedar, vanilla and a touch of spring flowers. Impressively built, with good acidity and light tannin, this is a superb example of wine that reaches its prime in 3 or 4 years and lasts two decades. It’s right up there with their brilliant 2005.“ 

“From an estate owned by Dominique and Florence Decoster, this wine has been a real treasure to follow over the last decade. Another over-achieving, brilliant effort from the Decosters, the 2010 from their 45-acre vineyard is a blend of 70% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.”
