Description
Saint-Georges Saint-Emilion, now part of Montagne Saint-Emilion, is one of this most esteemed wine region's satellite villages and a terrific source of excellent value, top quality wines.
In a great year such as 2005 there is little to distinguish a great wine such Château macquin from many a Grand Cru Saint-Emilion, thanks in no small part to the similarity of the terroir. The vines are on average 55 years' old ensuring lovely concentration and the consultant winemaker is the renowned Jean-Claude Berrouet.
This is a delicious, oak-aged Merlot-rich wine with bags of plumy fruit and soft, supple tannins.
