winemaker's notes:

This Grand Cru from Saint-Émilion gathers up great bunches of fresh violets into a massive bouquet that heightens the rich plum fruit when the wine is tasted. Traces of leather also emerge.

Blend: 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc

A Customer - Arizona

Vignot pours a deep, dark, garnet color with purple overtones. A mild aroma of cigar box is noted with musty earth and dried cherries. I actually caught a whiff of toffee after I let it sit for a while. A medium bodied specimen with a texture that tells me it's drinking right now. Flavors of rose petal, currant, dried dark fruits, leather and cedar all show well. The finish is long and rustic. Overall: Vignot ultimately lacks the depth of flavor needed to produce a classic example. It's a good value.
