Wine Description

The 2015 Château Trianon Saint-Émilion Grand Cru presents a deep, dark ruby hue with a firm core and subtle brightening at the rim. The nose is inviting, offering aromas of macerated cherries complemented by notes of toasted bread, mocha, caramel, and vanilla. On the palate, this wine is ample and fleshy, delivering a warm, smooth texture balanced by refreshing acidity. The tannins are silky, contributing to a harmonious and long-lasting finish.

This blend predominantly features Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a touch of Carménère. The 2015 vintage is approachable now but has the structure to evolve gracefully through 2025.
