Château Saint Georges Côte Pavie - Saint-Emilion grand cru - Rouge - 2023

It's only a matter of time before the price of this little treasure, so far untouched by speculation, skyrockets.

"In the golden triangle! Located at the precise crossroads of Ausone, Pavie and La Gaffelière... Château St Georges Côte Pavie is a 5-hectare family-run micro-estate producing wines of the highest quality under the guidance of the inimitable Stéphane Derenoncourt! This doll-like vineyard produces caressing, intense wines that reflect the terroir of its clay-limestone birthplace.

With the 2023 vintage, the critics immediately emphasize the rightness of maturity, with a fruity palate of perfect expressivity. The oak is perfectly integrated and evolves gracefully. Aromas and flavors, everything is nicely defined and done with style. Saint Georges Cote Pavie is one of those crus that assert themselves more by their finesse of style than by their concentration.

Every good thing has its downside: the quantities available are ultra-limited... only 20,000 bottles of this little marvel exist.
