Château Amélisse – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2021:

 

The Refined Elegance of Château Amelisse Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Château Amelisse offers a superb example of a Right Bank Claret, capturing the prestigious essence of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation. This wine is crafted from the region’s signature blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a wine of exceptional structure, depth, and aging capability. It is a wine that honours tradition while appealing to the contemporary palate.

Tasting Profile & Cellar Potential

• Appearance: A concentrated, deep garnet colour.
• Aroma: A seductive bouquet of lush red and black fruits, including ripe plum and blackberry, underscored by classic notes of forest floor, cigar box, and a touch of sweet spice from barrel maturation.
• Taste: Elegant on the entry, building to a beautifully structured mid-palate. The tannins are fine-grained and integrated, lending a dense yet silky feel. It has excellent balance and a beautifully persistent finish that speaks of its quality.

Food Matching & Decanting

This wine is built for grand occasions. We advise decanting this fine Claret for at least an hour before serving at 16°C to 18°C to allow its full complexity to unfold.

• Recommended Matches: Classic Beef Wellington, Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary, Rich Game Pie, Mature Stilton or Cheddar.
