Description
Opening a bottle from one of the finest properties in Bordeaux is a pleasure few of us can afford. But wines under L’Épiphanie labels give you a rare opportunity to do so without breaking the bank.
We can’t tell you the famous château behind this exclusive red, but we can tell you it’s one of Saint-Estèphe’s revered Second Growths. The estate’s 2023 Grand Vin is widely considered the most sought-after wine in not just Saint-Estèphe but all of Bordeaux, and sold out completely on release – even though it was over $350 a bottle.
So, to get our hands on this parcel is a real scoop. L’Épiphanie is made by the same team, entirely from the château’s world-renowned vineyards and has the opulence typical of this powerhouse estate, and has won a Grand Gold and 96pts. It’s a wine worthy of your biggest occasions, and deserving of a decanter. When you let it open up, you’ll unleash a rich spectrum of enticing aromas from lush dark fruit and cherries to violets and spice.
For John Lehmann writing in The Australian: "There’s so much to like in this already, but ageing will keep adding more layers. The nose is fresh but complex, offering violets, red fruits and lush dark fruit. The palate is dense with black fruit and bramble notes but already showing finesse through firm tannins and a nice level of acidity. Definitely one to decant."
