Introduction:
The Charme des Confidences Saint-Émilion is a polished and expressive red blend from the historic right bank of Bordeaux. It combines classic varietals in a way that highlights both the structure and approachability characteristic of modern Saint-Émilion wines.
Terrior:
From a small 1.7-hectare vineyard in Saint-Émilion, the vines grow in loamy sand soils under a temperate climate moderated by the Dordogne River. These conditions support even ripening and balanced acidity, lending elegance to the wine’s profile.
Appearance:
Deep ruby with garnet edges, reflecting both youth and early development.
Nose:
Aromatic and inviting, with notes of raspberry, cherry, and cassis. Layers of clove, leather, dried herbs, and a faint minty lift suggest well-managed oak and vineyard maturity.
Palate:
Medium-to-full-bodied, with supple tannins and flavors of dark plum, red currant, and savory spice. There’s a fine balance between richness and finesse, with earthy undertones adding depth.
Finish:
Long and poised, leaving impressions of red fruit, spice, and subtle minerality.
Overall Impression:
The 2022 Charme des Confidences is an elegant and food-friendly Saint-Émilion. With its refined tannins and layered fruit, it's equally suitable for enjoying now or cellaring for a few more years.
