Château le Châtelet – Grand Cru Classé Saint Emilion 2020

A small estate of 3.1 ha ideally located on the plateau of Saint-Émilion, in the middle of classified 1erscrus, Beau-Séjour Bécot, Canon and Clos Fourtet, hence its title of “chatelet” rather than castle. Julien Berjal, who rubbed shoulders with his father and grandfather in the vineyards of the cru, has been at the helm since 2002. Promoted to Grand Cru Classé by the last classification of 2012.

This new classified growth holds its rank. Very expressive, its bouquet evokes black fruits, reflecting very ripe grapes, combined with aging notes reminiscent of spices (cloves), with a touch of fur. In the same aromatic register, the palate appears warm on the attack, fleshy and ample. Its coated tannins give it a long and tasty finish. Of the presence and the future.
