Chateau Sarenceau Montagne Saint Emilion (750ml 13.5%)

The Château de Sarenceau vineyard, located on a clay-limestone plateau in the northeastern part of the appellation, features manual harvesting, a prolonged vatting period of 3 to 4 weeks. The wine from this vineyard exhibits an intense, deep dark red colour with a complex nose of small fruit aromas, a full and dense palate, soft tannins, rich fruit flavours, and subtle spicy and vanilla notes towards the finish. The Château Sarenceau vineyard, spanning two appellations, is situated on a limestone-dominated terroir and is meticulously tended by Ludovic Delage, a fourth-generation winegrower. The vineyard, modest in size at 9 hectares, benefits from careful and meticulous vine cultivation and adheres to traditional Bordeaux winemaking practices with hand-harvesting. The Montagne-Saint-Émilion appellation, at the highest elevation in Libournais, offers scenic hills and plateaus rich in clay and limestone, with the Barbanne valley stream separating it from the Saint-Émilion vineyards.
