Château Vieux Moulin du Cadet 2010
Château Vieux Moulin du Cadet is a Saint-Émilion estate situated just north of the historic town of Saint-Émilion, within the prestigious Grand Cru Classé classification. Known for producing wines with depth and character, the château is set in an area with rich, limestone-clay soils. The Vieux Moulin Cadet pairs well with rich dishes such as roasted lamb, beef stews, or game, as well as mature cheeses. Its balanced tannins and complexity make it a great match for hearty meals.
Santenay Premier Cru 'La Maladière' Vieilles Vignes Rouge, Domaine Benoit Girardin 2023
"Sourced from 60-70-year-old vines at the top of the village, this cuvée is defined by its elegance and minerality. The limestone soils impart precision and structure, while the wine's red cherry fruit, fine silky tannins, and layered depth make it a standout. A long, mineral-driven finish underscores its finesse." Our note Son of Yves and nephew of Vincent, Benoit Girardin has steadily carved out his own reputation and is already turning heads in the Parisian restaurant scene. 2023 was a standout vintage for Girardin, delivering both quantity and quality. While white yields were typical, the reds saw an unprecedented abundance. The whites were harvested first, beginning on September 7th, with the reds following on September 10th. Whites show a harmonious balance between sugar and acidity, with greater maturity and slightly softer acidity compared to 2022. The reds are all 100% destemmed with no fining or filtration, while the whites retain purity and definition with meticulous filtration.
