Note di degustazione
Fleshy sweet blackberry fruits with touches of brighter cranberry and sour cherry. The tannins have softened over ageing, still with plenty of limestone austerity but now showing attractive creaminess and smoked tobacco through the mid palate. Always an estate worth following, from the Berrouet family. Harvest September 30 to October 12. 80% manual harvest, 20% by machine, 20% new oak for ageing.

The 2019 Vieux Château Saint André offers attractive cranberry, maraschino cherry and dark chocolate aromas on the nose. Heady but it is well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red fruit, hints of sour cherry mixed with strawberry and a smooth finish that needs just a tad more precision. Otherwise, this is a fine Montagne Saint-Émilion from the Berrouet family.
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Vieux Château Saint André rolls out of the glass with uncomplicated notions of baked plums, stewed cherries and underbrush plus a waft of black pepper. The medium-bodied palate has plenty of freshness to support the subtle black fruits, and it finishes a little chewy.
