Château Branas Grand Poujeaux
Situated in the esteemed Saint-Émilion appellation, Château Haut-Brisson has been producing exceptional wines since the 19th century. The 2018 vintage is a testament to the estate's commitment to quality and tradition. Composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the wine is aged for 15 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels, imparting complexity and structure. The result is a wine with a deep garnet hue, exuding aromas of ripe black fruits, licorice, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied profile with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish that hints at cocoa and spice. This vintage is poised for aging, promising further development and refinement over the next decade.

Château La Fleur Cardinale is geclassificeerd als Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. Sinds de overname door Dominique en Florence Decoster in 2001 heeft het domein een ware renaissance doorgemaakt, met een focus op kompromisloze kwaliteit.
Leuke Weetjes & USP’s:
De Decoster-Familie: De familie Decoster is een krachtige speler op de Rechtse Oever en bezit, naast La Fleur Cardinale, ook de naburige domeinen Château Croix Cardinale en Château Saint-Emilion.
Hypermoderne Kelder: Het château beschikt over een van de meest geavanceerde cuveries (gistingskelders) in de regio, met vaten die zijn aangepast aan de grootte van de individuele percelen. Dit stelt hen in staat om de druiven van elk perceel apart te vinifiëren voor maximale precisie.
Hoge Dichtheid: De wijngaarden zijn aangeplant met een zeer hoge dichtheid (5000-7500 wijnstokken per hectare), wat de concurrentie tussen de wijnstokken bevordert en de concentratie in de bessen verhoogt.
