Chateau Toinet Lavalade Saint Emilion Bordeaux (750ml - 12%)
Château Toinet Lavalade Saint-Émilion boasts a deep ruby red hue and a fruit-forward profile, highlighted by ripe red berries such as redcurrant and raspberry. These vibrant notes are complemented by delicate aromas of cocoa and tobacco, creating a rich and inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced, with smooth tannins and lingering fruity flavours that provide a long, satisfying finish. Crafted primarily from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, it pairs beautifully with pâté, red and white meats, and a variety of cheeses. For the best experience, serve it slightly cool, between 16°C and 18°C.
The vineyard, located in Saint-Christophe-des-Bordes within the Saint-Émilion appellation of Bordeaux, spans 12 hectares. The vines are planted with 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, contributing to the wine’s complex character. After a traditional fermentation process, the wine is aged for 18 months, enhancing its depth and structure. This meticulous winemaking includes de-stalking the grapes, alcoholic fermentation at high temperatures (28°C) with daily pumping over, followed by a long maceration period of four weeks, and completed with malolactic fermentation.
Château Toinet Lavalade has earned notable recognition for its quality. The 2019 vintage was awarded a Gold Medal by Gilbert & Gaillard in 2021, a testament to the winery's commitment to excellence. This award highlights the refined craftsmanship and the exceptional terroir of Saint-Émilion, making this wine a distinguished choice for any occasion.
