Saint-Émilion AOC - Château Saint Brice

The Saint-Émilion from Château Saint Brice in Bordeaux reveals a dense, purple-red color when swirled in the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine offers wonderfully expressive aromas of blackcurrant and sour cherry, rounded off by [missing descriptor], contributed by the barrel aging.

Château Saint Brice Saint-Émilion presents itself to the connoisseur as wonderfully dry. This red wine never appears coarse or lean, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an immensely full-bodied texture. Thanks to its distinctive acidity, the Saint-Émilion appears impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Bordeaux wine-growing region, more precisely from Saint-Émilion, ultimately convinces with a remarkable length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the gravel-dominated soils.

Vinification of Château Saint Brice Saint-Émilion

The starting point for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Saint-Émilion cuvée from Château Saint Brice are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. In Bordeaux, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on gravel soils. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery without delay. There, they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small oak at controlled temperatures. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
