L'Épiphanie de Montagne Saint-Emilion 2018
Montagne Saint-Emilion AOC

We reserve our L'Epiphanie label for very special Bordeaux wines, that we carefully finish at our Le Chai cellar. Always from a flagship estate, this top 2018 from the Montagne satellite of Saint Emilion is gloriously ripe with supple Merlot fruit.
