2009 Château Cardinale-Villemaurine, Grand cru Classé St Emilion
Purity of red fruit from forty year old vines
Owned by Vignobles Jean François Carrille, this is by anyones standards, an ancient estate, able to trace its roots back to 732. The blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc set this apart at tasting, showing plenty of red fruit and subtlety very St Emilion. The seven hectares of vines are spread over five very diverse parcels of land, each with its own specific character, adding to the wines complexity. The use of 40% new oak and 60% of one vintage old barrels, add cedar tones, but this in no way dominates, allowing the purity of red fruit from forty year old vines, to shine through. 2018 2022.
