Château Soutard Cadet – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2017:

 

Château Soutard-Cadet: A Refined Right Bank Grand Cru

Château Soutard-Cadet, a distinguished Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, is cultivated on the appellation’s prized clay-limestone terroir. This estate has mastered the art of blending Merlot and Cabernet Franc to produce a wine that is both intensely concentrated and remarkably elegant, reflecting the pedigree of a top Right Bank Claret.

Sommelier’s Insight: Flavour Profile

• Appearance: A deep, saturated ruby-to-garnet hue.
• Aroma: Harmonious and sophisticated, offering ripe blackcurrant, damson plum, and mulberry, intertwined with graphite, leather, and a gentle seasoning of new oak and spice.
• Taste: Exhibits a full and generous body with a finely textured, almost seamless mouthfeel. The tannins are fine-grained and silky, providing structure without aggression, leading to a profound depth of dark fruit.
• Finish: Impeccably balanced, with a long, fresh finish that leaves behind traces of tobacco and liquorice.

Serving Suggestions

We highly recommend decanting this wine for at least an hour to truly unlock its aromatic complexity. Serve slightly below room temperature.

• Recommended Pairing: The perfect accompaniment to a traditional Sunday roast or game dishes.
• Vintage Maturity: While enjoyable now with decanting, this wine will evolve beautifully in the cellar over the next two decades.
