About this wine

This St-Emilion from Château Rigaud delivers everything you'd expect from Bordeaux's right bank, where Merlot shines on limestone soils. It's an approachable red that brings classic elegance without asking you to wait years before opening the bottle.

The nose opens with ripe red fruits—think cherries and plums—followed by subtle hints of cedar and a touch of spice from the Cabernet Franc. On the palate, it's smooth and balanced, with soft tannins that make it easy to drink now. The Merlot brings roundness and fruit, while the Cabernets add structure and a gentle grip that carries through to a pleasant finish.

Serve this beauty at around 16-17°C alongside roast chicken, grilled lamb chops, or a nice beef stew. It's also perfect with aged cheeses like Comté or a simple charcuterie board. No need to overthink it—just open, pour, and enjoy.
