Château Gros Caillou Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

A good Saint-Émilion wine is a wine that features characteristics of dark and red fruits, such as plum and cherry. Because of where the vines are planted, notes of minerals are also present in these wines. Château Gros Caillou Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is no exception, either.

It is a bold, forward wine. It shows nice, rounded tannins that get the mouth watering and an acidity that refreshes the palate. It is neither cloying, nor needy. To the eye: deep, dark, ripe cherry red greets the eyes. On the nose: heavy notes of berries, specifically blackberry and blueberry. On the palate: the same as the nose, but with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and oak. It is pleasant, refreshing, and a delight to drink.

This particular Saint-Émilion is a great food wine. It pairs very well with lamb, cheese boards, and game. Anything with a robust flavor is suited to this wine. It will more than adequately hold its own, and complement any dish it is matched with.
