92-Pt Moueix Produced St. Emilion Grand Cru, Under $25 and Only Here!

92 Points from James Suckling saying:
"A pretty nose of blackberries, cherries, sweet spices, caramel and earth. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Rich and plush with a velvety texture. Lots of ripe and sweetly spiced fruit on a flavorful finish."

background:
Claire Moueix (yes that Moueix family!) and Cyril Basteau seek to craft a living wine, a sincere reflection of Tauzinat lHermitage. Their philosophy is to preserve the character of the vineyard, loyally transmute the terroir into the wine, craft and age the wine with simplicity and thoroughness. In other words, let the wine 'just be'. They surround themselves with a dedicated team, vine and cellar hands as well as artisans that share the desire to put their know-how to the service of this passion.

It was in 1953 that Antoine Moueix, enraptured by the charm of the wine and the place, acquired Tauzinat lHermitage. This family estate, with a rich history of more than 3 centuries, is today in the hands of the 5th generation. With respect and benevolence, Claire Moueix and her husband, Cyril Basteau, preserve, guard and preciously cultivate this family treasure.

Perched at 95 meters of altitude, on the northern border of the clay-limestone plateau, Tauzinat lHermitage is a terroir within the terroir, a unique micro-climate, a remarkable subsoil and geological structure.
