Château Milon, Cuvée Caprice St-Émilion
Plush red fruits, a touch of leather and cedar with fine grained lingering tannins.
Producer Information
The Saint-Emilion properties Château Milon Grand Cru and Clos de la Cure Grand Cru have been in the Bouyer family for over seven generations. In the capable hands of Alexia and Pierre Bouyer, the domaine takes an ecological approach to the running of the estates aiming to bring out the best of their terroir.
Wine Making
From 2 hectares of vines with an average age of 25-30 years. A portion of the vines are situated at the base of the Saint Christophe des Bardes slope on sand and iron-rich sandstone soils, the rest are situated on the gravel soils of Saint Sulpice. Planting is high-density at 6,600-9,000 vines per hectare. Part-manual and part-machine harvest. Cold maceration to enhance aromatics, followed by thermoregulated fermentation and 2 to 3 weeks post-fermentation maceration to enhance extraction. Ageing takes place in steel tanks for 12-15 months.
Tasting Note
Plush red fruits, a touch of leather and cedar with fine grained lingering tannins.
Food Matching
Works with a range of dishes, from classic robust beef, game and lamb roasts or stews right through to well aged farmhouse Cheddar.
