Domaine de Jaugaret St. Julien

The Fillastre family has owned this small property in Bourdeaux sin 1654. The Domaine has some of the oldest vines in St. Julien - some of the Malbec vines are well past 100 years old. Mr Fillastre usually ages his wine, which is made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Malbec, in oak barrells for 28 months to 3 years creating a huge wine! When asked to describe his wine Mr. Fillastre says, "It is good." We on the other hand describe it as having a brilliant ruby color with a nose of ripe burnt fruit and spice along with coffee and tobacco. The palate has richness, structure with wonderful finesse and elegance. We believe this is a truly great find for our customers. Cheers! DJSJ98 DJSJ98 From Prime Wines...
