The Wine
Situated five miles from the famous medieval town of Saint Emilion, Château du Prieur is a 55 hectare estate owned by the Merit family. The domaine was founded by Emmanulle Merit and is now run by his grandson Didier with the help of his great grandson Arnaud. The property’s vineyards are composed of clay and limestone, a combination Merlot loves, with a favourable southern exposure that ensures complete ripeness and concentration of flavour. Didier and Arnaud produce a lush, fruit forward blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc intended for immediate enjoyment. Elegant and long on the finish, this classic wine is an ideal partner for roast lamb, rib of beef and richly flavoured casseroles. Let the wine breathe beforehand.
