Importer's Notes:

Once a walled fortress, Château St. Georges sits impressively atop a prominent hillside overlooking St.- Émilion and Montagne. It has long produced the best known wine of the tiny satellite appellation St. GeorgesSt.-Émilion. The vineyard is comprised of 60% Merlot and 20% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with the oldest Merlot vines planted in the 1956, after the disastrous frost. Château St.- Georges consistently produces a rich, ripe wine that is supple, fruity yet well-structured, a wine that can give immense pleasure when young and with the ability to age gracefully for 15 to 20 years. The wine is named to commemorate three generations of ownership. This is Petrus Desbois’ response to the artiste movement in Bordeaux.

A deep red color with hints purple. Superbly intense and complex, the wine has notes of cassis, blackberry and blueberry fused harmoniously with notes of sweet spices like nutmeg and cloves. A dense wine with tannin structure that combines the elegance and concentration. The finish is a wonderful mixture of violet and forest fruit.
