Château Saintayme 2023

Château Saintayme, located in Saint-Émilion, is owned by Denis Durantou, known for Château L'Eglise-Clinet in Pomerol. The vineyard covers one plot of nine hectares, mainly planted with Merlot, supplemented with some Cabernet Franc. The terroir consists of lime, clay and gravel.

Vinification and Maturation

The vinification process takes place in small stainless steel barrels, followed by aging for 14 months in small French oak barrels, 30% of which are new. This creates a wine with soft tannins and ripe fruit tones.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Saintayme is a pure Merlot, harvested between September 27 and October 4, with an alcohol content of 14.6%. The nose is opulent with aromas of black plum and light blueberry, with a fine purity. The palette is medium-bodied with a slightly powdery texture, moderate weight and good balance. The wine has notes of dark red fruit, cedar, herbs and dried flowers, and a beautiful freshness and balance with berries, orange peel and crushed stone.

Conclusion

Château Saintayme 2023 is a profound, serious wine with a core of inner strength and refined floral accents. The wine offers excellent balance and freshness, resulting in a very fine Saintayme.
