La Colline Saint-Émilion 2021

$255.00 Reg: $300.00 / 750 ml
Our 100% Merlot 'lieu-dit' from the top of the plateau in Saint-Émilion is dense, dark, and spiced, unlike what most people think Merlot would be. It is structured, mineral, and wildly aromatic. The 21 shows riper, dark fruits with rich texture.

Highlights

Winemaker Notes
Since our first vintage from this site in 2016, we have noticed that La Colline continues to produce consistently vibrant acidity regardless of vintage. The structure is quintessential Merlot while offering incredible depth and plush fruit.
