Château Soutard Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé (red) - AOC SAINT EMILION GRAND CRU
"Soutard" is the name of an ancient locality whose prestigious vineyards are located on Saint Emilion's unique limestone plateau, covering 30 hectares in a single block.
The bouquet, elegance and great finesse of the wines produced here testify to the natural power of this magnificent terroir, combined with precision craftsmanship. Deep red color, peppery nose, red fruits, black berries and crushed strawberries. Fresh, full-bodied and elegant on the palate, with silky tannins.
