SGC St. Emilion Alain Dutournier 2009 — a fully mature Saint-Émilion: dark fruit, truffle, tobacco and velvet.
This Saint-Émilion carries the name of Alain Dutournier and comes from the 2009 vintage — one of the most celebrated years of the modern era in Bordeaux, ripe and generous across both banks. The blend is classic Right Bank: Merlot with Cabernet Franc, aged in oak barrels.
Now well past fifteen years old, the wine is in a fully mature phase. The ripe black fruit of 2009 has deepened and taken on cedar, tobacco and truffle; the tannins have melted to velvet; and the finish lingers with quiet, savoury elegance. Mature claret at this stage needs nothing but a careful pour and a good table.
Serve with: roast lamb, beef stew, grilled steak, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts.
