Fleur Cardinale 2011 is a Merlot-dominant Bordeaux red wine from the Saint-Émilion appellation. This Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé emphasises structural density and richness, reflecting the property`s focus on high concentration from clay-limestone plateau soils. The palate is full-bodied and plush, featuring soft, polished tannins and a generous core of extract. While the 2011 vintage was known for uneven ripeness, the estate’s stringent selection ensured a firm structural framework that ensures further evolution, demonstrating successful extraction and weight achieved despite the cooler growing season.
