Clos Saint Julien – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2022:

 

CLOS SAINT JULIEN – ORGANIC: The Right Bank’s Blockbuster Grand Cru Classé

Introducing the rare and highly sought-after CLOS SAINT JULIEN – BIO. This certified organic micro-cuvée was officially promoted to Grand Cru Classé status in the 2022 Saint-Émilion classification, solidifying its elite reputation. Crafted by owner-winemaker Catherine Papon-Nouvel on a tiny 1.2-hectare plot atop the revered limestone plateau, this wine is a true showstopper. It offers exceptional richness and depth, showcasing the power and elegance of Saint-Émilion’s finest terroir. With only about 400 cases produced annually, this is a must-have for any serious collector.
