Christian Moueix Saint-Emilion 2005

$4999

Christian Moueix's entry-level Saint-Émilion, from the family that runs Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix in Libourne, the most storied negociant house on the Right Bank and historically the manager of Petrus. This is the everyday Saint-Émilion in the Moueix portfolio, sourced from across the appellation and given the Moueix treatment in the cellar. With 20 years in bottle and 2005, an exceptional Bordeaux vintage with classic structure and ripeness, this is fully resolved Right Bank Bordeaux at a moment when older bottles like this are increasingly hard to find.

"It may only contain 15% Cabernet Franc, but that grape imparts its signature perfume to this firmly dark wine. The tannins are ripe, if dry, the richness full, and the red plum and blackberry flavors are elegantly exuberant." —Roger Voss
