Merlot
MED-FULL-BODIED, BLACK CHERRY, PLUM, RASPBERRY, SLATE, CEDAR, SOME OAK
Sourced from a tiny parcel of Grand Cru Saint-Émilion vines tended to by Catherine Grébau, 'Christiana' was created with the help of Grébau's son, Bertrand (an esteemed chef and creator of Septime in Paris). Although classic in style, 'Christiana' is equal parts elegance and warmth, and therefore feels a bit more approachable than some of its peers – with concentrated dark fruit, fresh acidity, and soft tannins.
WINEMAKING: Low-intervention under 20ppm sulfur added; aged in a mixture of amphorae, barrique, and stainless steel; only 3 vintages made

FRANCE : BORDEAUX : SAINT-EMILION

MEDIUM-FULL BODIED, RED CURRANT, TOBACCO SPICE, EARTH, OAK
Often Bordeaux sends one’s palate into oaky, tannic shock, but here’s where the buck stops. Savory red fruit, warm tobacco spice, and cedar notes lay atop soft tannins. The result of renouncing any chemicals aside from very little sulfur sets this bottle apart from the rest.
