It's the awesome second wine from a legendary St. Julien estate, giving you a taste of Grand Cru class without the Grand Cru price tag.

Tasting notes

Okay, so you've poured a glass. Take a sniff! You'll get a lovely mix of ripe blackcurrant and juicy plum, with a little hint of cedar and maybe some earthy spice – that's the St. Julien magic right there. On the palate, it's smooth and elegant, not too heavy, with those dark fruit flavours really shining through. The tannins are nicely integrated, making it super easy to drink. It finishes long and satisfying. Honestly, it's just a really well-made, classic Bordeaux that feels way more expensive than it is. Perfect for chilling out or pairing with your favourite roast!
