2014 Vieux Chateau Saint Andre $336 case
Montagne Saint Emilion
Effortly stylish with the feel of a Grand Cru Saint Emilion.
Cool, steely and pure. The fruit definition and poise on show is electric, especially after an hour in the decanter.
Fresh and so well made…you would expect little else from the former winemaker at Chateau Petrus.
Vieux Château Saint Andre is owned by Jean-Claude Berrouet who was the winemaker at Chateau Petrus for 44 years until his retirement in 2007.
Berrouet was recruited to be winemaker and technical director for Petrus owner Jean-Pierre Moueix in 1964 where he was responsible for the production of their complete range of wines from Pomerol and St. Emilion. These estates included over a dozen properties among which were Chateaux Magdelaine, Trotanoy and Petrus.
