Description
In this wine from Château Saint-Hilaire, the grapes blend perfectly giving a powerful, refined nose that creates a marriage of red-berried fruit (black cherry and red plum) with elegant oak and hints of cedar and spice. The palate displays a plump mouthfeel revealing a balanced structure and notable length.
A great value wine, this savoury and appealing red Bordeaux generously ticks the “delicious Claret” box with a balance of fruit sweetness with earthy tones. Now that it has been cellared for a few years, it is really at its pinnacle and ready to enjoy now.
Château Saint-Hilaire is the perfect match between meat and wine. Adrien Uijttewaal, a farmer with Dutch roots, left the family dairy farm in the 1980’s to harvest in the Médoc. He then became a winegrower and from scratch built a 57ha property with the ambition of creating wines in the pure tradition, to be recognized for their high quality. All the while, never giving up his first passion for animals and today still manages (alongside the wine production) a breeding herd of 170 Blond d’Aquitaine cows. The two professions of breeder and winegrower may seem incompatible, but Adrien has proven the opposite. Environmentally, the estate is fertilized by natural by means of the cows manure and ‘gastronomically’, what could be better than the divine harmony between Château Saint-Hilaire wine and entrecote from its terroir?
This Cru Bourgeois property has well-placed vineyards right at the northern end of the Médoc, just north of Saint-Estephe, on deep gravel and clay-limest
