Chateau de Saint-Pey Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2019

In the village of Saint Pey d’Armens, Château de Saint-Pey covers an area of 20 hectares.

Château de Saint-Pey belonged to the Musset family through six generations. Dating in part from the sixteenth century, the château with its wide open spaces is an outstanding, historic wine estate. Close and friendly collaboration between the family and the new owners enabled the family’s traditional expertise to be passed on starting in 2011.

Messrs. Grosdidier and Stévenin have breathed new life into the château and its wines, which they produce using traditional methods, but with a hint of modernity and ever-soaring quality.”

The north-south oriented château opens onto a large park which provides a glimpse of the first parcels of vines and offers a magnificent backdrop for this historical wine estate.

A close-knit, highly motivated team works tirelessly to produce high-quality grapes and, from them, aromatic wines that combine modernity and tradition. Far from the typical visual codes of Saint Emilion wines, the label of recent vintages has been redesigned with elegance and sobriety to reflect the image of a wine of today.

"The nose is fruity, aromatic and offers a fine intensity. It reveals notes of ripe cassis, ripe raspberry and small notes of fleshy/juicy blueberry associated with fine fine touches of flowers, spices/nutmeg and toasted. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy frame, a good definition, a fine suavity as well as a fine freshness.

On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/crunchy cassis, juicy/crunchy blackberry and small notes of juicy/crunchy raspberry associated with a touch of cornflower/iris, racy minerality as well as fine hints of liquorice stick. Tannins are well-built." -
