The Definitive Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé: Château Villemaurine

Hailing from the prestigious Right Bank, Château Villemaurine is a Grand Cru Classé whose vineyards sit atop the historic clay-limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. This unique geological foundation imparts a remarkable elegance and mineral precision to the wine, establishing it as a benchmark for the appellation.

Sommelier's Tasting Notes

A Merlot-dominant blend that delivers both richness and finesse:

• Appearance: A deep, lustrous garnet.
• Aroma: Complex and evolving, featuring concentrated black fruit (cassis, dark cherry) seamlessly integrated with sophisticated notes of cedar, liquorice, and a hint of smoky toast from premium French oak.
• Taste: Full and velvety on the palate. It is beautifully structured with polished, firm tannins and a vibrant freshness, leading to an exceptionally long, distinguished finish. A wine of immense class and longevity.

Serving Perfection & Food Matching

Decant for an hour and serve at 17°C to unlock the full aromatic spectrum.

• Food Matches: A perfect match for a Traditional Beef Wellington, Roast Lamb with Redcurrant Jelly, or a hearty Venison Stew.
• Cellar Potential: Excellent capacity for aging.
