Château Vignot is located near the charming village of Saint-Émilion, one of the most important winemaking centers in Bordeaux. Surrounded by the region’s First Growths, Chateau Vignot’s vineyards possess an ideal combination of alluvial soils and southwest sun exposure that allows Cabernet Franc and Merlot to develop extraordinary depth and expressiveness.
At the helm of this project is Pierre Seillan, a master winemaker who has received a total of thirteen 100 Point scores for his work at Vérité in Sonoma County. At Château Vignot, Seillan and his daughter Hélène produce full-bodied clarets with terrific fruit intensity, supple textures, and silky tannins.
This 2011 release is approachable now but will continue to evolve over the next decade, making this bottle an outstanding gift for years to come.
