Over het wijnhuis | Saintem, ook bekend als Saintayme, is gevestigd in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse vlakbij het idyllische wijndorp Saint-Émilion aan de rechteroever van Bordeaux. Het château heeft vooral naam gemaakt dankzij zijn eigenaar, Denis Durantou, die tevens eigenaar was van één van de beste wijnhuizen uit AOC Pomerol: Château L’Eglise-Clinet. |

Awards | "This is a solid and structured Saintayme, with lots of terracotta and dark fruits on the nose and palate. It's medium- to full-bodied with a fine, chewy tannin backbone and a flavorful finish. Impressive. Pure merlot. Drink after 2028." - James Suckling "The 2022 Saintayme is a rich, heady Saint-Émilion. Super-ripe red cherry, plum, apricot, spice, new leather and a kiss of French oak saturate the palate. Plush contours wrap it all together, adding to a feeling of sensuality. A decidedly opulent, flashy Saint-Émilion, Saintayme has a ton of tannin, but it's nearly buried by the sheer luxuriousness of the fruit." - Vinous "Expressive and open with dried flowers, liquorice, and black cherries on the nose. The palate is supple and lively, bursting with cool blueberries and red cherries, offering clarity and precision without tension. The chalky, powdery tannins add weight and roundness, making this both vibrant and easy to enjoy. Subtle hints of black chocolate, espresso, and cedar emerge on the finish, adding depth. With its bright acidity and refined balance, this is an effortlessly drinkable wine that offers immediate pleasure while retaining the structure for short-term ageing. 3.65pH." - Decanter |
