Château Fleur Cardinale Grand Cru Classe 2015

France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion

Château Fleur Cardinale, named by the previous owner after his racehorses Fleur and Cardinale, is now owned by the Decoster family. She is one of the few Grand Cru Classé families who still live and work on her estate. When they took over the winery, they spared no effort or money to leverage the potential of the first-class vineyards. Many plots have been replanted and yields have been drastically reduced. A new wine cellar was built in order to develop the wine plot by plot. And in order to preserve biodiversity, the winegrowing family counts on natural viticulture - the conversion to biodynamics will follow. This effort was rewarded in 2006 with the classification as Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé.
