2015 Chateau Pavillon Daugay Saint Emilion

Located at the foot of the slope in Saint-Emilion, Daugay's vines have superb sun exposure conducive to excellent ripening. The 40-year old vines draw their strength and vitality from this outstanding terroir. Combining the coolness of clay and the filtering capacities of limestone, the soil offers just the right conditions for the various grape varieties. The ideal proportions of clay and limestone provide excellent natural drainage as well as relative freshness and all necessary trace elements. The blend of grape varieties – 50 % Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon – is perfectly suited to the soil and early-ripening microclimate.

A wine's quality is above all due to the commitment and enthusiasm of the people who make it. At Château Daugay every single winemaking procedure is done with the greatest of care, with numerous quality checks to guarantee the best the terroir has to offer as well as great aromatic complexity. All the wine is château-bottled for complete quality control from beginning to end.

A dense ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by a wine with lots of fruit, spice box and earth characteristics as well as medium body, supple texture and a front end-loaded style.
