About Château Soutard 2017
Bottle (75cl)

Situated on the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, Château Soutard rests on a vineyard of just over twenty hectares in one piece.

The vineyard is divided into several terroirs, ranging from the limestone plateau to the clayey hillside, via a sandy-clayey foot of slope. These different plots are all cultivated traditionally, with respect for the environment and biodiversity (non-certified organic).

Only two grape varieties make up Château Soutard, Merlot, the dominant variety, accounts for 70% of the total vineyard. The Cabernet Franc covers only 30% of the total surface area.

After hand-picking, the grapes for Château Soutard 2017 have been vinified in small stainless steel and wooden vats, on a plot by plot basis. The juices were then blended in proportions of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The final blend was aged for 18 months in new oak barrels.

In the glass, Château Soutard 2017 has a beautiful purple color with ruby tints and a lively and exuberant bouquet of red and black berries, blackberries, currants and blueberries. On the second nose, subtle notes of flowers and graphite can be detected in turn, bringing an additional touch of complexity to the bouquet.
On the palate, Château Soutard 2017 offers a full-bodied attack followed by a fruity and energetic mid-palate. The fruity aromas present on the nose are perfectly retranscribed on the palate and coat the tongue and the inside of the cheeks with an incredible freshness supported by a fine and velvety tannic line, before offering a long finish subtly tinged with earthy notes.

Château Soutard 2017 is already ready for tasting but will continue to evolve in bottle for at least ten years, rewarding the most patient wine lovers!
