Famille Gardinier

With its pretty ruby garnet colour and silky-soft texture, this wine is deeply inviting. Well-made with notes of spice, cedar and black cherry fruit. A classic wine with a supple structure.

Always one of our favourite wines from St. Estèphe we are delighted that our friend Philippe Vande Vyvere is now the proud owner of this beautiful domain. Quite powerful in the nose with intense black fruit flavours, mixed with earthy , briary, rather wild fruit elements. On the palate the wine is ripe and lush with good power, impressive tannins and structure leading to a full, generous finish. This is great showing and should be one of the sleepers of the vintage.

This superb St. Estèphe estate is well located between Montrose and Calon Ségur and this year shows how successful the wines of the appellation really are. Harvesting finished on the 21st of October, the latest ever, and the blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. There is great aromatic expression of black fruit, cloves, herbs and plums. On the palate the wine is racy yet structured with great power and tannins. Great intensity and structure on the finish; very impressive. Drink 2022-2036

We zijn verheugd dat onze vriend Philippe Van de Vyvere nu de trotse eigenaar is van dit prachtige domein, dat steeds een van onze favoriete wijnen uit St. Estèphe is. Vrij krachtig in de neus met intense zwarte fruitaroma’s, vermengd met aardse, aroma’s van wilde braambessen. In de mond is de wijn rijp en weelderig met goede persistentie, indrukwekkende tannines en structuur die leiden tot een volle, gulle afdronk. Dit is een geweldige wijn en zou een van de bewaarwijnen van de jaargang moeten zijn.
