Cyril GouyClos des Confidences Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2022

About this wine

This Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from Cyril Gouy is a beautiful expression of Bordeaux's Right Bank, where Merlot thrives on clay-limestone soils to create wines of elegance and depth. The 2022 vintage brings freshness and vibrancy, making this a perfect introduction to the world of Grand Cru wines.

On the nose, you'll find ripe red fruits like cherry and plum, with subtle hints of cedar and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and velvety, with well-integrated tannins that give structure without being aggressive. The finish is medium-length, leaving a pleasant impression of fruit and gentle oak.

This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted duck breast, beef tenderloin, or a classic French entrecôte with shallot sauce. Decant it for about 30 minutes before serving at 16-18°C to let the aromas fully develop. It's ready to drink now but will also reward a few years of cellaring if you're patient enough.
