Chateau Fleur Cardinale 2019 is a powerful yet polished Saint-Émilion, packed with dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit layered with cocoa, espresso, spice and a touch of dried flowers. The palate is dense and velvety with very fine tannins and vibrant acidity, giving both impressive richness and lift before a long, chalk-tinged finish. A modern, opulent style that remains precise and harmonious.
Roast lamb with rosemary; Dry-aged ribeye steak; Wild mushroom and truffle risotto

Château Fleur Cardinale is the flagship Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé of the Decoster family, a Merlot‑led blend (with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon) grown on cool, clay‑limestone slopes east of the village. Typically aged 12–14 months in predominantly new French oak, it is known for its ripe dark‑fruit and floral aromatics, velvety, seductive texture, and a modern yet balanced style that offers both immediate charm and strong aging potential.
