In the mouth
Substantial mid-palate weight with natural sweetness and fine-grained tannins. Good length on the finish, with a balanced structure that will reward cellaring. The wine shows both immediate appeal and ageing potential.
On the nose
The fruit-forward character is complemented by pleasant toasted oak aromas. A harmonious bouquet that develops with aeration, revealing layers of ripe cassis and subtle spice.
On the eye
Deep, vibrant ruby with sustained intensity. The colour speaks to the wine's concentration and structure.
Breeding
18 to 20 months in new French oak barrels
A wine of considerable merit with Saint-Emilion's classic food-friendly character. The richness and structure would complement traditional Bordelaise preparations—particularly lamproie à la Bordelaise, where the wine's weight and subtle oak would enhance the dish's complexity and sauce.

CHATEAU LA COUSPAUDE
Established on the limestone plateau and eastern slopes of Saint-Émilion, Château la Couspaude covers 7 hectares of Grand Cru Classé vines on clay-limestone and chalky soils in the Gironde. Founded in 1739, it passed to Prosper-Jean Robin in 1908 and the Aubert family in 1941, earning Grand Cru Classé status in 1996 before the Flurin family — owners of Bellefont Belcier — took over in 2026. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon thrive on these well-drained terroirs, producing structured, precise reds. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this château for its plateau terroir, HVE-certified viticulture, and the continuity of its classified standing. A Saint-Émilion of real substance, rooted in one of Bordeaux's most storied communes.
