Who makes it?

Château Fleur Cardinale, a St-Emilion Grand Cru estate, has a long history, yet it was only after its purchase by Parisians Alain and Claude Asséo that it began estate bottling. Previously, virtually all the wine had been sold off in bulk to négociants. They replanted much of the vineyards, as well as totally renovating the winery and chai. They also engaged the services of the ubiquitous Michel Rolland.

Its 10-hectare vineyard is located east of St-Emilion on a plateau overlooking the small village of St-Etienne-de Lise. The soil is rich in limestone and the vineyard is superbly sited with a south-east aspect.

How is it made?

An interesting blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris aged in old oak

What does it taste like?

A finely balanced white Bordeaux with fresh citrus and grapefruit peel on the nose, a chalky mineral mid-palate of apricot and lemon, and a long juicy finish of delicate fern and tension.
