An elegant Grand Cru from Saint-Emilion in the Right Bank of Bordeaux. The Château La Chapelle Aux Moines is a beautiful red deep color. The nose shows fine notes of red fruits. The wine offers delicate oak aromas that are powerful and well-engrained. On the palate, the wine is elegant thanks to silky yet racy tannins. The wine has a long finish with a nice balance between the toasty oak and fruit notes. 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec
