Chateau Viramiere Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2022 750ml

The wine is a deep ruby red with aromas of black cherry and earthy undertones, with a palate of concentrated black fruit, velvety tannins, and a long finish. Chateau Viramiere St-Emilion Grand Cru is a pure expression of Bordeaux winemaking at its finest.

Tasting: A classic Saint-Emilion showing depth and elegance. The nose presents ripe black cherries, plums, and violets, with notes of cocoa and subtle spice. The palate delivers well-structured fruit with fine-grained tannins and fresh minerality. 

Pairing: This refined Saint-Emilion pairs excellently with Sashi Beef, roasted Poulet de Bresse, or Iberico Secreto. The wine harmonizes with wild Ceps and Chanterelles. For cheese, serve with aged Fort Saint Antoine Comté or Pont-l'Évêque.

Producer: Château Viramiere sits on Saint-Emilion's limestone plateau, where the estate's vineyards benefit from exceptional drainage and mineral-rich soils. Under the current generation's guidance, the château maintains traditional Right Bank practices while incorporating modern precision in the cellar. Their approach focuses on expressing the unique character of their limestone-clay terroir through careful fruit selection and gentle extraction.

92 Points - James Suckling

A simple and juicy St.-Emilion full of red plums, cherries and a touch of iron. Medium-bodied and lightly bony, with some grainy tannins lingering in the medium-length finish. A bit dry at the end.
