Sarl Domaine les Roques de CanaEstimated delivery between 13 and Dec 17,
Sanguis Christi is worthy of France's finest wines. Jean-Michel Deluc, former sommelier at the Ritz, describes it as "the premier grand cru of Bordeaux". You could call it a "sacred" wine, halfway between the crus of Bordeaux and the black-wine of Madiran, which are known for their ageing qualities. Sanguis Christi is a structured, powerful wine that reveals all the elegance of Malbec on the Roques terroir. Thanks to a selection of the best terroirs, 50% matured in new barrels, 50% in one-year-old barrels for 12 to 14 months, this wine already offers a velvety texture and aromas that mark its evolution (vanilla, cinnamon, cherry, spices...). And the 2008 vintage, exceptional in the South-West region, is already very rare!
