Tasting CharacteristicsChâteau Ripeau 2018 embodies the richness of this warm, opulent vintage. Merlot offers plush fruit and sensual texture, while Cabernet Franc adds aromatic lift and freshness. The wine is aged in a high share of new French oak, giving depth, spice and a luxurious mouthfeel. Concentrated yet balanced, Ripeau 2018 presents a polished, contemporary Saint-Émilion style: powerful, fruit-driven, finely structured and built for both early pleasure and mid-term aging.
Aromas and flavours:
Primary
Aroma / Nose: Blackberry, cassis, ripe plum, blueberry compote, violets, vanilla, mocha, toast, licorice and a hint of crushed stone.
Secondary
Palate / Taste: Full-bodied and smooth. Dense black fruit, dark chocolate, espresso, sweet spice and polished oak tones unfold on a velvety texture. Tannins are ripe and creamy, acidity moderate, giving the wine a rich but harmonious flow.
Tertiary
Finish: Long, warm and persistent — lingering notes of black cherries, cocoa, exotic spice and a subtle mineral edge.
GastronomyServe at 17–18 C. Ripeau 2018 pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes: beef tenderloin, duck breast, lamb shoulder, braised short ribs, venison stews, mushroom ragout, or truffle-based preparations. For cheese, choose aged and flavorful varieties — Comté, mature Gouda, aged cheddar, or earthy soft-ripened cheeses.
