Château la Courolle, Montagne Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France 2014 - Halves

Château la Courolle is a typical wine from the satellites wine area bordering the St Emilion appellation.  Leased by the Gallo-Roman poet Ausonius in the first century BC, the wines of Saint-Emilion have been appreciated for more than two thousand years.

The château is situated on the plateau of Montagne St-Emilion on argilo-calcaire (clay-limestone) soil, similar to those of St-Emilion itself. The vineyard is planted at 6,000 vines per hectare with 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. Montagne St-Emilion, at the very centre of the St-Emilion region, is steeped in the tradition of winemaking, the vigneronsfiercely proud of its terroir and tradition. The Guimberteau family has been involved in wine production for over 100 years and the current steward of the family domaines, Rodolphe Guimberteau, is the fourth generation.

A wonderfully accessible entry to the St-Emilion style and an excellent value for money
