Chateau de L'Annonciation, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2011

Description

From the Right Bank of Bordeaux, this 2011 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a classic Merlot-driven blend showing mature, elegant character. Aromas of black cherry, plum, dried fig, and cedar lead into a palate layered with dark fruit, tobacco leaf, subtle earth, and hints of cocoa. The tannins have softened nicely with age, giving it a smooth, polished texture while still holding structure.

Drinking beautifully now, it offers that refined, savory Bordeaux profile that pairs effortlessly with steak, roasted meats, or aged cheeses.
