Chai Saint-tienne is a modern Bordeaux project that focuses on sustainably farmed parcels across the Right Bank. The 2022 Rouge blends Merlot and Cabernet Franc, fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit clarity. Red plum, cherry and subtle tobacco notes frame a medium-bodied palate with soft, approachable tannins. Its crafted by a small team aiming for freshness and drinkability rather than oak-driven power. A contemporary, fruit-forward take on everyday Bordeaux.
