Château de Malengin, 750 ml

The vineyard of this wine estate spreads on 90 hectares over two famous neighbouring wine appellations – Montagne Saint-Emilion and Puisseguin Saint-Emilion. Within this area, the 45 hectares located on Montagne Saint-Emilion appellation are dedicated to the production of Château de Malengin. The vineyards of Château de Malengin are planted on south-facing slopes, with big rocks of limestone. This excellent clay and limestone soil gives the Saint-Emilion Merlot its distinctive taste. The wooden vats, stainless steel and concrete tanks are fully temperature controlled. After about one month of maceration in tank, the wine is then carefully aged in French oak barrels during 14 months. Baron Benjamin de Rothschild has acquired this superb property in 2003, aiming at developing the estate’s great potential. A large renovation work of the cellar was undertaken in spring 2004 to offer modern and efficient facilities. Food and wine: Drink with grilled meat, and french cheese. Chinese steamed lobster with garlic and ginger, Japanese sushi, shellfish and shrimp served with soyu and wasabi, Korean banchan. Advised serving temperature: 18°C.
