Saint Emilion Grand Cru Pavillon De Taillefer 2018 750 ml
About this bottle
Pavillon de Taillefer 2018 is the flagship red from Château Vieux Taillefer, a 100% Merlot Saint-Émilion Grand Cru sourced from vineyards across the communes of Vignonet, Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens, and Saint-Émilion itself. It's aged 12 months in French oak, 30% new barrels, giving it structure to age alongside its ready-to-drink appeal even young. Expect dark plum and blackberry fruit on the nose with notes of cedar and graphite, a full, velvety palate carrying that same dark fruit through firm but polished tannin, and a long, earthy finish typical of Right Bank Merlot. It's built for someone who wants classic Bordeaux structure without a decade of cellar patience.
How to drink Pavillon de Taillefer
Decant for 30 minutes and serve around 63-65°F with roast duck, lamb, or a well-marbled steak to match its tannin and dark fruit.
