Our Wines
Château Fleur Cardinale
Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
Grand Cru Classé
Château Fleur Cardinale has been our flagship growth since 2001:
a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé that is elegant and distinguished in its organoleptic profile, while modern and dynamic in its expression.

The growth is located east of Saint-Emilion on the northern slope of a limestone plateau.
Its location in a cool sector is a true advantage in the context of climate change. Its plots are established on clay-limestone soils and bordered by a 40-hectare forest.
Château Fleur Cardinale is naturally complex and generous, with a sensation of fresh and intense fruit both on the nose and palate.
The wine is renowned for its ability to achieve perfect balance between the power and silkiness of Merlots grown on clay soils, and the fresh, distinguished character of Cabernets grown on limestone.
It is a great wine for aging, thanks to a solid structure supported by consistently fine tannins, a true signature of the House.
