Château DaugayLe Piou 2023

About this wine

If you're looking for a fresh, fruit-forward St-Emilion that breaks the mold, this Cabernet Franc from Château Daugay is your answer. Aged in amphora rather than oak, it's all about pure, vibrant fruit with a silky texture that makes it dangerously easy to drink.

Blackcurrant takes center stage both on the nose and palate, backed by a delicate hint of violet. The tannins are ripe and smooth, while the amphora aging keeps everything light and airy, letting the fruit shine without any heavy oak influence.

Perfect with grilled lamb chops, a classic beef tartare, or even a mushroom risotto. Serve at around 16°C to 18°C to get the most out of those beautiful fruit notes.
