Hi
Someone here may know about this one - I can only be general: Montagne
St.E.is a large neighboring area to the more famous St.Emilion, so with
lesser reputation, which, however, is rising. This winery does not rank
with the local top shots (Calon, St.-André-Corbin, Vieux Ch. St.-Andre among
others) so it is likely an average Bordeaux.
2002 was an above average vintage and I guess your wine will keep a few more
years if you have good storage, if not - drink soon.
I've no idea about price in the U.S. - found 11.80Euro in Germany which is
about 14 USD. The vendor claims it to be a fruity, tasty wine suitable with
pork, fowl or mild cheeses.
