Description

Domaine Introduction:
Vieux Château Saint André is a hidden gem in Bordeaux's Right Bank, located in Montagne Saint-Émilion, the smallest satellite appellation of Saint-Émilion. What sets this estate apart is its owner, Jean-Claude Berrouet, the legendary winemaker who crafted 45 vintages of the world-renowned Pétrus in Pomerol . Upon retiring from Pétrus, Berrouet purchased this estate in Montagne, a region known for offering exceptional value wines that mirror the quality of Saint-Émilion Grands Crus, particularly in great vintages . His son, Jean-François, now assists him in running the estate. The vineyard is planted on just six hectares of prime hillside land, with a classic Right Bank blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc . The wine is given several months of barrel ageing to ensure a smooth, harmonious cuvée . The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux is widely regarded as one of the greatest in recent history, producing wines of remarkable depth, concentration, and balance.
