Chateau Villemaurine Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2015
Just landed direct from Bordeaux! Almost “daily drinker” priced today… Grab a 6-pack while we have it! Warm, structured and beautifully silky and perfumed, this gorgeous wine is made by none other than Hubert de Bouard of Chateau Angelus!
The Onclin family took over stewardship of Villemaurine in 2007 and instantly made massive improvements, such as bringing on Stephane Derenoncourt, and now the legendary Hubert de Bouard. The wines are true “sleepers” in the world of Grand Cru Saint-Emilion and we are one of the few to have any to sell!
PAIRING IDEAS: Gyros. Seriously - spiced and seared or ground lamb, with thyme, creamy yogurt, and crunchy veggies pair beautifully with Saint-Emilion! Or cut to the chase and make a lamb burger!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Listening to Edith Piaf's beautiful singing seems wonderful while sipping on this Bordeaux. "La Vie En Rose" is a classic!
