Saintayme Saint Emilion 2022

100% Merlot

Saintayme in Saint Emilion is the property of Denis Durantou. Denis Durantou is best known for producing one of the best wines in the Pomerol appellation with Chateau L'Eglise Clinet.

Denis Durantou has continued expanding his holdings in the Right Bank over the past few years as he has acquired not only Saintayme, but vineyards in the Lalande de Pomerol appellation that produce Chateau Les Cruzelles and Chateau Chenade as well as Chateau Montlandrie in the Cote de Bordeaux.

The wine gushes with quite intense red cherries, kirsch and orange pith scents, lovely definition, simple in a positive sense. The palate is medium-bodied with darker fruit than the nose suggest, quite saline with a black pepper-tinged finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.
