2009 Clos Des Menuts L'Excellence St Emilion Grand Cru (Bottle - 1/75cl)

Situated at the heart of Saint Emilion's famous limestone plateau, consisting of just five hectares, the l'Excellence Clos des Menuts is made from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

Grapes are hand-harvested, go through a temperature-controlled vinification in concrete vats and are aged in French oak barriques for 12 months. A complex nose offers dark fruits and berries while savoury notes give way to cedar, dry leaves, a hint of a pencil case, mocha and lightly toasted bread with a touch of minerality.

The palate is elegant, well balanced and full-bodied with soft tannins. The finish is delicate and long. This wine will pair perfectly with your future dinner.
