Dark berries and cherries flow through Chateau Fleur Cardinale 2022 with a plush, velvety feel, framed by fine-grained tannins and vivid freshness. Subtle layers of cedar, licorice, herbs and graphite add depth without heaviness, giving a long, juicy finish that already feels polished yet clearly built to develop in bottle.

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.
