100 Merlot | 30% new oak | 13.5% alc | 60000 bottles produced | Picked between 28th September and 11th October There is a lovely sense of calm about Saintayme in 2021. The oak protects the wine and the slightly lover alcohol levels allow more tender fruit notes to emerge, showing wilder elements and more sensuality than expected. The perfume is superb and the tannins are bright, but not attacking, and while this will drink young, it has plenty of energy to last the course.

The 2021 Saintayme is bright, tense and understated. There's naturally a bit less volume here than in most years, but in exchange the 2021 offers tons of energy and plenty of verve. Pretty floral accents lend vibrancy throughout. Dark red cherry fruit, sweet spice and flowers all grace this classy, reserved Saint-Émilion from the Durantou family. Drinking range: 2025 - 2038 Rating: 90-92 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (May 2022)
Beautiful juice here, cool, measured, reserved, precise blue fruit and gunsmoke reduction, with sinew and just a touch of swagger. Harvest September 28 to October 11. Drinking range: 2026 - 2040 Rating: 92 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2022)
The 2021 Saintayme was picked from September 28 to October 11 and raised in 30% new oak. Kirsch and cranberry jus burst from the glass. The palate is not complex but well balanced, showing a touch of plushness toward the finish. Enjoy this after a couple of years in bottle.
