					<description><![CDATA[Château Bénitey is located at the foot of the coast, east of Saint-Emilion, in the town of Saint-Laurent des Combes. It takes its name from a cross at the junction of the road above the vineyard, a cross reminiscent of that of a holy water font.
The area is 5 ha with vines whose average age is 40 years and the wine is usually composed mainly of 70% Merlot, aged for 10 months in French oak barrels (20 to 40% new).

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc

<strong>VINTAGE</strong>
2020 (in wooden box of 6)

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 13.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Elegant and refined ruby colour.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
Fragrant nose of lavender, dark cherries, cassis, cloves and sandalwood.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Velvety and seamless, with complex layers of ripe fruit, spice and flowers. The fruits and tannins are balanced, well-structured. It has typical Saint-Emilion prettiness, freshness, elegance, and a salty minerality, too. All underpinned by very fine tannins.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
Aged for 10 months in wood.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Like many Saint-Émilion, it goes really well with beef, burger with cheddar and bacon and mature cheeses.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
Drink now but it will be worth ageing too.</p>
<p><strong>RATINGS</strong></p>
