If you’re looking for a special French red to save for a special occasion, you won’t do much better than a beautiful St Emilion Grand Cru like this, from the oldest winemaking region in Bordeaux. Made from the best fruit on select plots of Alexandre’s Chateau Armens estate. It’s aged for 12 months in the fanciest of French oak barrels to round out the tannins and impart delectable spicy complexity.

It’s a decadent red chock-full of deep, dark mouthwatering cherry flavours. And all that plush, tummy-warming fruit is beautifully framed with notes of clove and nutmeg spice for a truly mouthwatering sensation on the palate. You could happily while away a couple hours exploring the complexities of this wine, with a good book and a roaring fire to keep you company.

TASTING NOTES
Colour: Deep, intense red with persistent hue, dark purple reflections.

Aroma: Nose opens with complex layers of red and black fruits—blackberry, plum, blackcurrant—brightened by spices and delicate vanilla from oak ageing.

Palate: Structured and ample mouthfeel: rich, full-bodied, with firm but velvety tannins—still a bit youthful, offering both freshness and depth. Flavors echo the nose: plums, cherries, black fruits, a touch of smoky vanilla, finishing long and crisp.
