Collines de L’If | Saint-Émilion

Merlot and Cabernet Franc on the limestone of Saint-Émilion, made in the modern right bank style: plush, dark fruited and immediately generous rather than austere.

Tasting Notes
A captivating bouquet of blackberry, cassis and hints of mocha. The palate is opulent and well balanced, showing dark fruit, cocoa and a touch of cedar, with velvety tannins and a long, polished finish. Saint-Émilion is Merlot country, which is why its wines are rounder and softer than the Cabernet-led reds of the Médoc across the river, and why they can be enjoyed considerably younger.
