Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes
Comtes de Neipperg St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Vintage 2010 | This wine ticks all the boxes. Purple red with a brown rim, like Italian rooftiles. Cedar and tobacco in smell but surprisingly much red fruit for a wine of this age. Velvety structure. Fine example of right bank Noblesse. | paired with skirt steak

Jan 14th, 2024Located on a north-east slope, the 10.32 hectares grow on Fronsac molasse covering a layer of sand with a clay subsoil. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berries and floral notes. A blend of 90% Merlot & 10% Cab Franc, aged in 45% new oak. On the palate black cherry and strawberry flavors with notes of cacao, licorice and smoke. Fine grainy tannins, medium+ finish, ending with subtle oak character. Tasting Sample.
