Description
Matured in 15% new oak, 10% in large clay jars and the rest in one or two wine barrels, the 2020 Vieux Château Saint André delivers aromas of graphite, liquorice and dark berries with an elegant earthy note. A bit firm and austere, the wine is medium to full-bodied on the palate with both structuring and powdery tannins as well as controlled power. A period in the cellar (4 to 10 years) will allow it to blossom.

Critics reviews
Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 90-92/100
Medium to deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2020 Vieux Château Saint André comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of Morello cherries, juicy black plums and fresh blueberries, plus hints of bay leaves, lavender and fragrant soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is coated with vibrant red and black fruit layers with loads of mineral accents and a soft, plush texture, finishing long and refreshing.
