Tasting Note

This wine is a dark and intense ruby colour. The nose opens with herbal notes from the Cabernet Franc, followed by fresh and ripe fruit. On the palate, this wine is exceptionally elegant with finely knit but firm tannins and a refreshing acidity which carries the complex aromas onto the lingering finish.

About the Winery

Chateau Capet-Guillier

Chateau capet Guillier, France, is situated in Saint Hippolyte. This is at saint Emilion's gateway. It is a vineyard covering fifteen hectares, and it boasts some of the most emblematic grape varieties in Libourne including Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. The Chateau Capet Guillier vines are on saint Emilion's southern side, and they get good exposure to Fronsac Molasse stone which has self-draining slopes and active limestone. There are also sandy silt soils which most winegrowers appreciate because they make management much easier. Working on Malbec and Merlot is easier on such a soul because it has low organic matter and water constraints, which means early grape maturity. Both varieties are tended and harvested with care. They are then vinified and matured in one cellar.
