About the Wine

Name: 2018 Soutard Cadet Cuvee Victoire Saint Emilion Grand Cru 12x750ml
SKU: 206856

In 2015 the Lefevere Family bought Château Soutard-Cadet, bringing it to even newer heights. As owners of Château Sansonnet and Château Moulin Du Cadet, both Grand Cru Classés in Saint Emilion, they brought an extensive pedigree.

When crafting the Cuvée Victoire, the greatest care is taken when selecting grapes. These come from the Au Cadet plots, as well as ones from the plateau of Saint-Christopher des Bardes. A blend of 90% merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc grapes, this wine finds itself aging in 70% French oak barrels for 16 months. A vibrant, gourmet Saint Emilion Grand Cru. This is a wine lover's dream.

Aging: 16 months in 70% French Oak barrels

Tasting Notes: 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. This is a Merlot-driven blend with great structure, long and complex, marked by intense notes of red fruits and spices. Its volume in the mouth, its supple tannins, its long finish, and its overall balance make it a perfect representative of the vintage.
