Alverne 2018 is an elegant and refined red wine from the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation, on the right bank of Bordeaux. This vintage perfectly illustrates the classic Saint-Émilion style: a subtle balance of finesse, structure, and aromatic depth.

Made primarily from Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and occasionally Cabernet Sauvignon, the blend provides roundness, complexity, and aging potential.

On the nose, the wine reveals a generous and intense bouquet, dominated by ripe red and black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant, plum), accompanied by floral nuances and soft spices.
On the palate, it is smooth and ample, well-structured, with silky, perfectly integrated tannins. The finish is long and harmonious, with a subtle hint of oak and impressive depth.

The 2018 vintage can be enjoyed today for its fruit and elegance, but it has a 10–15 year aging potential, allowing the wine to develop complexity and richer aromatic expression over time.

A classic Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, ideal with red meats, game, slow-cooked dishes, or aged cheeses, appealing to lovers of refined, balanced wines with aging potential.

Château Alverne is a winery located in the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux. The vineyard benefits from the typical clay-limestone and gravelly soils of Saint-Émilion, which promote grape ripeness and the production of balanced, structured wines with excellent aging potential.

The estate focuses on producing elegant and refined red wines, respecting Bordeaux traditions while highlighting the expression of the terroir. The vines are carefully tended, combining manual harvesting with modern winemaking techniques, resulting in wines that are harmonious, complex, and capable of aging gracefully.

Château Alverne is recognized for its Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wines, which combine aromatic finesse, tannic structure, and aging potential, ideal with red meats, game, or slow-cooked dishes, while remaining enjoyable even in their youth.
