‘Origines’ is somewhat of an enigma: deep, dark, and structured, it is also a very “feminine,” elegant wine — ethereal, even — with firm tannins and a persistent, fruity finish amidst delicate floral aromatics and gentle acidity.
In any case, it's an undeniably beautiful wine — one with lots of character and personality, exemplary of the region's terroir, and a wonderful pairing for grilled meats and charcuterie.

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
