Aux Plantes, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2019, Bordeaux, France

Growing up in Libourne, it was inevitable that wine maker Olivier was to fall in love with the world of wine, but it’s his revolutionary approach to winemaking and desire to break the rules that sets him apart.

A percentage of his wine has been aged in clay amphora, softening the tannins and flavour. The remaining wine is aged in casks and barrels, 30% of which are new oak. Like Olivier, it's expressive! Deep rich red and black fruit aromas, with a spicy undertone. Elegantly full bodied! Believe when we say this is great as an aperitif, pairing nicely with grazing snacks! Think delicious plates of cured ham and Catalonian olives.
