Inky purple-red, it’s only now after four years in bottle that it is revealing its ample charms. The nose offers a wondrous combination of spiced plums, blueberries, chocolate, coffee, and woodsmoke. The velvety palate is suffused with tones of plums, black figs, cherries, blackberries and vanilla which coat the mouth revealing firm but rounded tannins that point to long ageing potential. The finish is minerally, plump, and shot through with raspberries that add freshness and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2023 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 Points - James Suckling (2023 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChateau Palais Cardinal estate is located in the commune of Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens which lies to the south of Saint Emilion next door to the acclaimed Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé Château Monbousquet.  The terroir is a wonderfully free-draining, nutrient-poor mix of gravels and sand which are drained by the ‘La Fuie’ stream which lends its name to the label.  It takes its name from the sumptuous residence built in the 12th and 13th centuries, renamed “Palais Cardinal” when it was enlarged in the 14th century by Cardinal Gaillard de la Motte.
