Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Apr 21
The 2005 Clos Saint-Martin is a gorgeous, classy Saint-Émilion that is drinking beautifully right now. Freshly cut roses, sweet red berries, kirsch, mint, pomegranate and spice are all laced together. Rich and pliant, yet also wonderfully light on its feet for such an opulent wine, the Clos Saint-Martin is an absolute delight. It is also one of the most alluring, sensual wines of the vintage. I loved it.

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
