Why shop with us?
Château Fleur Cardinale Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2019 is a beautifully polished Bordeaux that combines richness, precision, and real cellar-worthy depth. Built mainly on Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon adding structure and lift, it captures the refined style that has made Saint-Émilion one of the most admired appellations in France. Presented in an original wooden case of six bottles, it is a standout choice for collectors and Bordeaux lovers alike.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, inviting color, hinting at its concentration and ripeness. The bouquet is expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and plum, followed by spice, vanilla, and subtle toasted notes from oak aging.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, lingering finish. The fruit is generous yet disciplined, giving the wine both immediate appeal and the structure to age gracefully for many years, where it will gain even more complexity and nuance.
Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, this wine benefits from the region’s limestone and clay-rich terroirs, which help give the blend both finesse and power. The 2019 vintage is crafted primarily from Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and matured in oak to add texture, spice, and subtle roasted character. The result is a wine that reflects careful vineyard selection and a thoughtful, classic Bordeaux vinification style.
Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted or grilled beef, lamb, game dishes, and mature cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C for the best expression of its aroma and structure. Decanting for one to two hours is recommended, especially if enjoyed young, to allow the wine to open fully and reveal its full depth.
Producer
Château Fleur Cardinale rose to prominence after Florence and Dominique Decoster purchased the estate in 2001 and invested heavily in both quality and reputation. With guidance from Jean-Luc Thunevin, the renowned force behind Valandraud, the château quickly established itself as one of Saint-Émilion’s most consistently impressive producers. Today it is known for strong international acclaim and remarkable value within the appellation.
