This has been sourced from a Grand Cru property, bordering the Pomerol border.
With 85% Merlot in the blend and its proximity to Pomerol, this was something of a foregone conclusion as a Corney & Barrow selection….when we eventually came across it.
So many wines were discarded for not quite fulfilling the brief.
Here is our hallmark requirement for opulent cherried fruit with hints of mocha and dark chocolate – sumptuous but with attitude
"Intense raspberry and plum aromas with black pepper spice and a herbaceous lift. Revel in the magic of merlot in our sumptuous St-Émilion. Opulent and cherried, flavours of mocha and dark chocolate linger moreishly on the finish.
