Château Amelisse: The Quintessential Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Château Amelisse, a distinguished Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, is a true testament to the finesse of Bordeaux’s Right Bank.

It represents a modern take on a classic Claret, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a refined Bordeaux experience.

Tasting Notes & Profile

• Color: A deep, rich ruby-purple hue, indicative of its concentration and aging potential.
• Nose: An expressive and elegant aroma profile featuring ripe black cherry, cassis, and bramble, beautifully interwoven with subtle hints of vanilla, cedar, and baking spice from oak aging.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is immediately velvety and full-bodied. Ripe, rounded tannins provide a polished structure and a silky-smooth texture. The finish is long, harmonious, and memorable, leaving notes of dark plum and cocoa.

Pairing & Serving

To fully appreciate its complex layers, decanting for one hour is highly recommended. Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C).

• Suggested Pairings: Prime Ribeye Steak, Duck Breast with a Fig Reduction, Truffled Filet Mignon, or a selection of aged, hard cheeses.
