Description
Chateau Haut Segottes Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2017
Varietal: Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (40%)
Chateau Haut Segottes Saint Emilion Grand Cru features a majority of Cabernet Franc. This dominance of Cabernet Franc produces a wine of considerable structure and is exceptionally age-worthy
The Chateau Haut Ségottes is owned and operated by Danielle Meunier and her assistant, Florent Caldier. Mme. Meunier, “vign- eronne extraordinaire”, is the fourth generation of her family to oversee this nine hectare estate situated in the heart of the Saint Emil- ion appellation. Mme. Meunier’s great-grandfather purchased the estate around 1860 and had earned gold medals for his wine as early as 1912 at the Concours Agricole in Paris. The estate’s 9 hectares are all planted within the St. Emilion Grand Cru appellation. The vineyards are tended with the utmost care by Madame Meunier and her long-serving trio of master “gardeners”. Her obsession with, and dedication to her vineyards, enables Madame Meunier’s Haut Ségottes to produce exceptional quality year-in and year-out despite the vagaries of the weather. The wines of this estate capture the essence of the artisanal craftsperson.
