Chateau Pas De L'Ane 2019 Saint Emillion Grand Cru

Critical Acclaim: 93 pts James Suckling; 90pts Decanter.

About the Wine: The wine is produced from the oldest grapevines planted on clay-limestone soils located at 70-90 meters high. The wine is aged in stainless steel and wooden vats. Average age of the vines are 45 yrs old.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Red and black fruit aromas with spicy and woody notes. A good tannic concentration and a long finish.

 "This is a full-bodied red, yet it remains linear and tight with a dusty and chalky tannin texture and a cola and berry aftertaste. Very long in the finish with chewiness and focus. Needs time. 55% merlot and 45% cabernet franc. Try after 2025."- James Suckling

"An enjoyable unfussy St Emilion here, with sappy fruits and a sense of lift and energy through the palate. Berry fruits fill things out, and overall a good choice for early-to-medium drinking in the appellation, should be good value. Drinking window 2022-2032." -Decanter.

Varietal: 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc
