Château Saint-Pierre de Mejans
Cuvée chapelle
On these highly filtered soils, which produce low yields, the principle of extracting more finely in the vineyard than in the cellar is fully borne out. This beautifully coloured red wine is well balanced between red fruit and silky tannins.
"Beautifully balanced with silky tannins".
