Château Cardinal Villemaurine Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2008

Gold Medal: Challenge International des vins de Bourg et Blaye 2011

Created and vinified with passion by Jean Francois Carrille, this wine expresses all the finesse and elegance of this exceptional terroir. A complex nose of spiced plums, leather and woody cigar box aromas. The palate has a full-texture and long, enduring savoury flavours.

Serves as a good match to mushrooms, game birds and roasted lamb.

Situated in the heart of St Emilion, one of the famous Bordeaux right bank communes, the name of this small 8ha vineyard comes from the period of the Saracen invasions around 742 AD, where an observation camp of the Moor armies became known as the “Ville des Maures”, the “Town of the Moors”.

Merlot 70%, Cabernet Franc 30%
