Vieux Chateau Saint Andre 2016 (750ML)

94+ Points, Zachys Buying Team: “The tiny production bottling of Vieux Château St. André from St.-Émilion’s smallest satellite appellation is the home estate of none other than Jean-Claude Berrouet, the humble winemaker behind 45 vintages of Pétrus, and his son. Zachys was first introduced to the wine 11 years ago, but it wasn’t easy to track down in quantity. In fact, it is only available at a handful of merchants around the world; just six hectares are planted off a narrow, winding road near St.-Émilion. The wine is focused and elegant; expect dark fruit, concentration and that mineral texture and style that we like. Best of all, with several years of age from the important 2016 vintage, it can be enjoyed now”

Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Vieux Château Saint André reveals scents of baked raspberries, red cherry pie and baking spices with touches of dried Provence herbs and mossy tree bark. Medium-bodied, the palate has lovely freshness and a nice grippy texture, finishing on an earthy note." 11/18
