Vintage Report
With a score of 95, the 2020 vintage in Saint Emilion is considered outstanding. The wines show excellent structure and concentration with great aging potential.
For this red wine, we travel to France's most famous wine region, Saint-Émilion. Here, classic wines are made to an unprecedentedly high standard. Chateau Saint Brice has been run by the Myshkin family for years. The château has been passed down from father to son, meaning their experience and knowledge are endless. We can therefore safely say that Chateau Saint Brice is one of the most established and experienced wineries in the region.
The old vineyard of 90 years old
The Myshkin family has a very old vineyard, some 90 years old. This guarantees quality and allows the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon bunches to mature slowly. The ancient soil, with its strength and suppleness, provides the bunches with the right nutrients. The gravelly soil and the influence of the Gironde River give the bunches everything they need. The family has only 13 hectares and hand-harvests all the bunches to ensure only the finest grapes are bottled for a phenomenal final result. But before that happens, there's still a lot of work to be done.Wood aging for the Chateau Saint Brice Saint Emilion
Once the grapes are harvested, they are gently pressed, after which the juice is aged in wood for 12 months. Half of the barrels are new, which ultimately impart more power, and the other half are used barrels, all made of French oak. After 12 months, the juice is bottled and matured for several more months in the cellar. Then it's ready, and we can conclude that this wine is a true feast. Upon pouring, we see a ruby red color with a slight purple sheen. Very inviting! We give our nose the chance to savor all the beauty that emanates from the glass: primarily blackcurrant, a hint of vanilla, and plenty of spices, dominated by black pepper. On the palate, the tongue is pampered by soft tannins, warm notes of black fruit, and a touch of vanilla. On the cheeks, nuances of vanilla and oak develop. The smooth yet lingering finish makes this Château Saint Brice Saint Emilion absolutely fantastic.Product details
