2016 Vieux Château Saint André, Montagne-St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

The Berrouet name on the label is a key pointer: this is the same winemaking family as has been associated with Petrus for over four decades. The colour is remarkably intense and vivid at five years old. The bouquet is elegant and lifted, with a subtle hint of spice. The first taste is delicate and rather beautiful, held in check by the tannins, which also deliver a freshness and vivacity. There are thyme and liquorice notes. This is a wine of real interest: elegant and complex.

Critics reviews

Stacy Slinkard 91/100
From the stellar 2016 vintage, this limited production bottling comes from St-Emilion’s smallest satellite appellation and the home estate of Jean-Claude Berrouet, iconic winemaker behind 45 vintages of Pétrus. Focused black fruit gives way to well-woven tannins and distinct mid-palate concentration. Drinking window: 2022 - 2030 Stacy Slinkard, Decanter (Mar 2021)
