What can you expect in this wine gift set?

Château Saint Hilaire Médoc 2017 Cru Bourgeois: Archival dry red wine

If we were going to create a perfect dry red wine, we’d do it like this:

We’d hand-pick grapes of the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties in sunny Bordeaux. We’d let them macerate for 3 weeks, and then mature for 12 months in barrique casks. Finally, we would blend the two varieties together to create a ruby-red dry wine.

This is exactly how the rich and elegant Médoc 2017 was created. It smells of plums, black fruit, and currants. It will enchant you with its full taste and tannins that remain for a long time in your mouth.

This archival red wine earned a gold medal at the largest French competition, the Challenge International du Vin.
