CUVÉE 1118 Red
Château Saint-Pierre de Mejans
Cuvée 1118 - 2020
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 has a good balance of red fruit and silky tannins.
"Beautifully balanced with silky tannins".
