A great value, approachable Saint Emilion Grand with notes of dark fruits – plums, blackcurrant and blackberries with hints of fresh lavender. Dark chocolate on the palate shows that the tannins are enrobed and balanced and the finish is long and satisfying.

Description

About Chateau Galeteau

The micro vineyard is owned by the Artigue family, surrounded by Crus Classés Barde Haut et Clos de Sarpe. It is located in the heart of the vineyard of Saint-Emilion, on the famous clay-limestone plateau.

In the cellar, the work is divided into parcels and the winemaker intervenes as little as possible, to best express the specificities of the terroir. Prior to becoming a vineyard and winery, Chateau Galeteau started out as a farm in the 1600s. At the time, the estate was better known for the production of agricultural products.

In fact, the chateau, which continues to maintain the look of a 17th-century farmhouse was built in 1658, making it one of the older chateaux in Saint Emilion that is still in use today. Chateau des Laudes is owned by the Artigue family. The wine produced on this property, a former 17th-century farmhouse, will only appeal to discerning wine lovers.

The Winemaker
The property is owned and run by Bernard Artigue his son Antoine since 2009. Bernard Artigue manages the Right Bank estate today. In 2007 Mr. Artigue hired Stephanie Dernenoncourt and his team as consultants. This change made a dramatic and positive difference in the vintages to come.
