The estate and the wine |
|
|
A reference in its sector and a model of organic culture, Domaine de l'A is the personal property of Stéphane Derenoncourt, France’s vineyard's star consultant. A wise mentor of the greatest estates in the world, including Bordeaux of course, a researcher of terroirs and a true visionary, this humanist has settled in Castillon to make his dream come true.
In this setting at the gates of Saint-Emilion, on a clay-limestone soil worthy of the greatest classified growths, he produces with his wife Christine one of the most seductive wines of the appellation. Forerunner of this new Eldorado, he sees today his work recognized and acclaimed by critics worldwide. |

The 2014 Red Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux once again illustrates the sensitivity and talent of the Derenoncourt couple. The quality of the nose with its beautiful floral nuances, followed by a caressing palate with well-melted tannins form a highly seductive wine, which arrives today at an optimal degree of expression, even if its potential for aging is still great. A very beautiful bottle which will delight amateurs worldwide. |
