Château La Couspaude – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2017:

 

Château La Couspaude: Right Bank Royalty from Saint-Émilion

Château La Couspaude, a distinguished Grand Cru Classé, sits atop the prized limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. This estate, a long-standing jewel of the Aubert family, is celebrated for producing wines that perfectly capture the richness of the Right Bank. Dominated by Merlot, the wine offers a powerful yet incredibly smooth profile, making it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs looking for a Bordeaux with serious aging potential and immediate luxury appeal.

Tasting Profile

• **Color:** Deep, dense ruby/purple hue.
• **Nose:** Rich and layered, revealing concentrated aromas of dark berries (black cherry, blackberry), kirsch liqueur, licorice, and elegant notes of new oak like mocha, vanilla, and sweet baking spice.
• **Palate:** Full-bodied with a luxurious, fleshy texture. The tannins are ripe, polished, and beautifully integrated, providing a massive structure without being harsh. The finish is long, pure, and balanced, a signature of its unique clay-limestone terroir.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve this exceptional Bordeaux at 60-64°F (15-18°C). Decanting is highly recommended for one hour to allow the complex aromas to unfold.

• **Ideal Pairings:** Filet Mignon Au Poivre, Prime Rib Roast, rich mushroom-based dishes, and aged, hard cheeses.
• **Best For:** Special occasions, high-end entertaining, or adding a trophy bottle to your cellar.
