Saintayme St-Emilion France 2016 1500ml

Denis Durantou of L'Eglise Clinet makes this modestly priced cuvée from a 9 hectare parcel of 35 year old Merlot vines in Saint Etienne de Lisse. 100% Merlot aged in 30% new oak.

The stunning 2016 Saintayme displays a rock star nose of plums, black raspberries, crushed violets, and touch of minerality. Full-bodied richness, elegant texture and concentration, great finish. It’s complex, elegant, and powerful.
