A Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé of Timeless Elegance

Château Soutard is a historic Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, with roots tracing back to 1513. Situated on the renowned clay-limestone plateau, the estate produces wines that are classic examples of Right Bank finesse and longevity. Recent investments in the vineyard and a new gravity-fed winery have solidified Soutard's reputation for producing age-worthy, beautifully structured claret.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, vibrant garnet red, offering a hint of the wine's concentration and ageing potential.
• Aroma: Complex and layered. Expect an initial burst of ripe black cherry and plum, followed by sophisticated secondary aromas of cigar box, cedar, cinnamon, and a subtle earthiness characteristic of the limestone terroir.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably elegant. The mouthfeel is velvety, showcasing fine, polished tannins and a balanced acidity that promises decades of cellar life. The long finish carries notes of dark cocoa and licorice.

Food Pairing & Service

This wine is a superb choice for a celebratory meal. Best served at a cool cellar temperature (16-18°C). Given its structure, a brief decant is beneficial for younger bottles to open up the bouquet and soften the edges.
