Château les Grandes Murailles – Saint Emilion Grand Cru – Red – 2012 – 3000 ml:

 

The Essence of Saint-Émilion: Les Grandes Murailles

Château Les Grandes Murailles, a celebrated Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, takes its name from the imposing medieval walls of the Dominican convent. Sourced from exceptional clay-limestone terroir, this wine is a pure expression of Merlot, delivering a powerful yet elegant profile that secures its place among the finest wines of Bordeaux’s Right Bank.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

• **Color:** Deep, intense garnet, indicating high concentration and aging potential.
• **Nose:** A complex bouquet unfolds with ripe black fruit (plum, blackberry), transitioning into tertiary notes of forest floor, black truffle, tobacco leaf, and toasted mocha.
• **Palate:** The entry is rich and full-bodied. The structure is supported by dense, yet incredibly silky tannins-a hallmark of great, age-worthy Merlot. The finish is remarkably long, echoing with spice and mineral complexity.

Pairing & Serving

This collector’s wine deserves careful service. We recommend decanting for two hours, especially for younger vintages. Serve at 63°F (17°C).

• **Key Pairings:** Prime Rib Roast, Truffle-infused Beef Tenderloin, Aged Filet Mignon.
• **Cellaring Potential:** Exceptional (10 to 25 years depending on the vintage).
