Château Vieux Garrouilh 2021
Situated between Château Cantenac and Pindefleurs, both Saint-Emilion grand crus, Vieux Garrouilh is made from old vines (40 to 45 years old) planted on the valley of Saint-Emilion in St Sulpice de Faleyrens. Considering its position, this wine is underrated and deserves a Grand Cru classification !
