2011 Saint Glinglin St Emilion Grand Cru

Winery Notes:  We LOVE Saint-Émilion. It is a very special place indeed and we find the asymmetry of the wines produced there to be among the sexiest things going. It’s also a very fancy place and wines can become outrageously expensive and oftentimes outrageously overblown.   These are, thankfully, both symptoms of humanity and not a function of nature. Our goal here is to make classy, heady, perfumed and elegant wines that are a bit more earthbound in both expression and price. We do this via work with Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown on gravel-over-limestone soils vinified in cement tanks but aged in predominantly older French oak. See, the grapes are in love with their surroundings and they already have a lot to say; they just need a place to bloom, not a ton of additional flavor.
