Thirteen generations of expertise at the heart of Saint-Emilion
- This is a classified Grand Cru from one of Bordeaux's most distinguished appellations. Balestard la Tonnelle represents the continuity of a family house whose roots run deep into the terroir of Saint-Emilion's Right Bank.
- The wine displays a pronounced character: a supple entry, with cassis and raspberry notes that persist through the palate. This is a wine of definition and clarity, neither timid nor overwrought.
- The 2021 vintage shows the structure and balance to develop gracefully over the coming years. This is a wine of substance, built to reward patience, yet approachable in its youth.

In the mouth
The attack is supple and welcoming, with the cassis and raspberry notes from the nose carrying through the mid-palate. The tannins are present but refined, providing structure without harshness. A wine of balance and poise.
On the nose
The bouquet is distinctly Merlot in character: cassis and ripe raspberry are prominent, with subtle secondary notes emerging as the wine opens. The aromatics are clean and well-defined.
On the eye
Deep purple, with the colour density typical of a serious Merlot-based wine.
This is a wine of considerable versatility at table. Serve it with white meats and poultry, where its elegance will shine; with red meats, where its structure will provide support; or with game, where the fruit will complement the deeper flavours. The wine's balance makes it equally at home in informal dining or more formal occasions. Decant if serving immediately; otherwise, allow an hour in the glass.
