2014 | Chateau Saint-Pey | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fresh and aromatic. It reveals notes of red berries, fresh raspberry and slight notes of spices associated with an imperceptible hint of cassis bud, a hint of caramelized oak and a very discreet hint of vanilla.

Producer Information

Since its creation Château de Saint-Pey stood out by the quality of its wine. The owners give the greatest care to the culture of the vineyard and the vinification. The soil – sandy on the surface then loamy – lies on a limestone and clay and limestone subsoil and reflects the terroir of Saint-Emilion. The vine stocks are 40 years old on average and produce wines made of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The quality and consistency enabled Château Saint-Pey's wines to build up an international reputation and to be regularly awarded in international wine competitions. “The respect of the environment is an integral part of our philosophy. We are committed to working the soils by ploughing to favour a deeper rooting of the vines, in order to better express our terroir. We limit the treatments to their slightest necessity. Our choices are dictated by the observation and the growing cycle of the vines. Understanding the terroir and adapting to it to best reveal it is our first challenge”, owners Frédéric Stévenin and Clarence Grosdidier explain. As a good wine starts with healthy fruits, Château de Saint-Pey bought a plot of 1.5 hectares grown organically. Maybe a new range of organic wine will stem from it, considering that the rest of the property already benefits from biocontrolled practices, an integrated policy aiming at reducing their impact on the environment. Currently the vines grow, vegetation is developing and the first bunches are appearing. Luckily the vineyard recovered from the frost of last year. After a year without harvesting at Saint Pey, 2018 seems promising!
