Mathilde de La Fleur Morange Saint-Emilion 2010

One of Saint-Emilion’s original “garagiste” wineries of the late 1990s, Château La Fleur Morange was promoted to Grand Cru Classé status in the 2012 classification of the appellation. The estate was established by carpenter Jean-François Julien and wife Véronique.

The first vintage of Château La Fleur Morange was in 1999 and, made in a garage, only 900 bottles of the wine were produced. A 93-point score for the 2000 vintage from US critic Robert Parker, however, propelled the enterprise into stardom and the wines boast a cult following and continue to be critically well-received.

Tasting notes:
The wine is a blockbuster, a delicious, hedonistic st.-Emilion fruit bomb with loads of blackberry, raspberry, black currant and cherry notes intermixed with some cedar wood, forest floor and a touch of toast.
