Carte d'identité de
Château Villemaurine 2012
Villemaurine 2012 est un vin qui se présente aujourd'hui avec une couleur intense, un fruit éclatant et une trame tannique qui leur imprime une structure dense et harmonieuse digne d'un grand millésime bordelais et d'un Saint-Emilion Grand Cru en particulier.
Twenty years ago, this used to be one of my candidates for the worst wine from a top terroir in St.-Emilion. Things have changed incredibly since the acquisition of this property by Justin Onclin. The terroir is fabulously situated just adjacent to the walls of this medieval village, and the wine has gone from strength-to-strength. The 2012 has a dense purple color, a rocky and chalky minerality, medium to full body, and is long, rich and intense, elegant yet noble. Consumers have to be pleased that this long-time underachiever has finally raised its game under the new ownership. This is a property to seek out in St.-Emilion. Drink this 2012 over the next 15-20 years.
