Galeteau, Saint-Emilion 2022

This tiny 4Ha vineyard owned by the Artigue family, surrounded by Crus Classés Barde Haut et Clos de Sarpe is located in the heart of the vineyard of Saint-Emilion, on the famous clay-limestone plateau. In the cellar, the work is divided into parcels and the winemaker intervenes as little as
possible, to best express the specifics of the terroir. Prior to becoming a vineyard and winery, Chateau Galeteau started out as a farm in the 1600s. At the time, the estate was better known for the production of agricultural products. In fact, the chateau, which continues to maintain the look of a 17th-century farmhouse was built in 1658, making it one of the older chateaux in Saint Emilion that is still in use today. Matured for 16 – 24 months in oak barriques.

Pairs beautifully with red meats. Goes particularly well with soft cheeses with a bloomy rind such as Saint-Marcellin, Camembert or Brie.
