Château Cap Saint George – Saint Georges Saint Emilion – Red – 2017:

 

Château Cap Saint-George: Right Bank Luxury Red

Hailing from the exclusive Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion appellation, the Château Cap Saint-George is a distinguished Bordeaux red. Its proximity to the prestigious Saint-Émilion plateau and its unique clay-limestone soils grant it a complexity and finesse often compared to a Grand Cru Classé. Produced by Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this wine is a testament to meticulous viticulture.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

The wine presents a deep, intense ruby hue with remarkable clarity. The bouquet is immediately inviting and layered:

• Aromatics: Concentrated notes of ripe dark berries (blackcurrant, blueberry), overlaid with subtle leather, tobacco, and a gentle smokiness from oak ageing.
• Mouthfeel: On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a classic, structured feel. The tannins are mature and polished, providing excellent grip and frame. A persistent finish underscores the wine’s superb ageing potential.

Food Pairing & Decanting

To fully appreciate its depth, decant for an hour and serve just below room temperature (17°C).

• Traditional Pairings: Traditional Roast Beef, game dishes like Venison Casserole, or mature hard cheeses.
• Best Enjoyed: Excellent between 2025 and 2035 (depending on vintage).
