Unlock the future of Saint-Émilion with the groundbreaking 2020 vintage of Château La Fleur Cardinale. This is more than just a wine; it's a testament to innovation and masterful winemaking, representing the very first vintage to be entirely crafted in the estate's state-of-the-art new facilities.
The nose of this exceptional wine reveals a rich aromatic palette of great purity. Following a straightforward and dense attack, the palate seduces with its impeccable structure, precise fruit flavors, controlled aromatic power, and delicate texture. The innovative aging in a blend of oak and amphora lends an incredible finesse to the tannins, along with good persistence and great elegance to this vintage, which boasts a remarkable aging potential.
Château La Fleur Cardinale boasts a 22.5-hectare vineyard planted in a veritable mosaic of 7 different clay and limestone soils and subsoils, contributing to the wine's complexity and depth.
Notably, 2020 marks the first vintage to have been entirely vinified and aged at the property's new, cutting-edge facilities. A portion of the production (10%) was vinified by micro-vinification, and significantly, aging was carried out in 50% barrels and 50% amphorae, a novelty introduced to the property with this very vintage, setting a new benchmark for their wines.
Serve at 17–18°C with grilled lamb, duck breast, or rich mushroom dishes.
