Château La Rose Vircoulon 2020, Saint Emilion Grand Cru - Structured and delicious red wine

A lovely wine from Saint Emilion, produced by Pierre Vircoulon, an epicurean friend and bon vivant who decided to continue the family adventure by taking over 4 hectares of vines in a rich terroir in the Bordeaux region.     This Saint-Émilion Grand Cru struck d'Or comes from 50-year-old vines.   It is blended from 68% Merlot, 15% Cabernet-Franc, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon.   The vinification is traditional and the aging is partly in vats and partly in new barrels/several wines.   This allows for good aging potential and drinkability from two years!   Under its beautiful color with small notes of ruby, we discover a pretty nose of intense fruit which announces a gourmet wine.   And deliciousness can be found on the palate, where the wine is ample, round, with toasted and ripe fruit aromas, before showing a long and intense finish.
