Elaboration

Red wine made of 90% Merlot grapes and 10% Cabernet Franc, from the Bordeaux appellation A.O.C Fronsac. The harvest has been done 100% manually, in 38 years old vines. The vinification was precisely done, adjusted to the characteristics of each parcel. The maceration (3 to 4 weeks depending on the lots) produced a very fin tannin grain allowing a malolactic fermentation in barrels. It had aged 40% in new French oak barrels.

Taster´s notes

Château Dalem is one of the best wines from Fronsac, known for its maturity, complexity and fine spicy character. An opulent and fleshy wine, elegant, velvety to the touch and with a solid tannic structure, usual in the wines of this right bank appellation. We recommend pairing the wine with beef, particularly grilled or roast beef and filet mignon, and blue cheese. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC

The Winery

Château Dalem is a beautiful family history that characterizes this eighteenth-century house overlooking the valley of L’Isle. The Castle stands in front of Pomerol and the slopes of Saint-Emilion. Its vineyard, created in 1610, was owned by the same family for three centuries. In 1955, it was passed on to Michel Rullier, whose daughter took over the line in 2002. For more than forty years, Michel Rullier modernized winemaking techniques to improve the quality of his wines and to make them known throughout the world. His daughter continues today by promoting this development internationally.
