Saint-Émillion Grand Cru - Chateau Destieux

In the glass, the Saint-Émillion Grand Cru from Chateau Destieux offers a dense, purplish-red color. If you give it some air by swirling it in the glass, this red wine reveals great density and richness, which shows in the “church windows” on the glass. The bouquet of this Bordeaux red wine enchants with hints of raspberry. Pursuing the aromas further, red currant appears, enhanced by the influence of oak.

Powerful and multi-layered, this opulent red wine presents itself on the palate. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Bordeaux region, more precisely from Saint-Emilion, ultimately impresses with a beautiful aftertaste.
