Les Galets Saint-Estephe 2021
$300.00 / 750 ml
Les Galets continually produces a rustic yet elegant expression of Cabernet Sauvignon with incredible purity. Subtle brambly fruits and tart blue fruit open with time, and a riper, more complex secondary aroma comes through. Stoney salinity, extremely elegant, fine texture, and cassis emerge with 2+ hours of air.

Winemaker Notes
The site is a slightly raised lieu-dit of river stones (hence the name), gravel, limestone, clay and iron, not far from the river. This wine is typically medium-bodied - perhaps even lighter than our right bank wine - allowing the purity of fruit and soil to shine.
