After 414 years and 15 generations of farming on the Saint Emilion/ Pomerol plateau, the Amoreau family has a unique approach to winemaking. Emilien is a biodynamic, low-sulfur blend of Merlot (85%), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Carménère aged in oak barrels for 24 months. Unlike most Bordeaux, this old-school wine will not clobber your palate. Emilien is medium-bodied, earthy, and engaging in its youth with currants, berries, plums, and exotic tobaccos stored in old wood. Try it with roasts, mushroom risotto, and braises
