Our opinion on the cuvée
This Château Ascumbas cuvée reveals an intense and complex nose, blending notes of ripe black fruit, sweet spices, and forest floor. On the palate, it offers a silky, velvety texture with a lovely concentration of red fruit and a hint of licorice on the finish. This elegant and generous wine offers beautiful harmony on the palate, perfect for pairing with hearty, convivial dishes. A sure bet to accompany a variety of dishes and enhance your dining experience.
In the heart of Saint-Émilion—which bears its former name, Ascumbas, the name of the place before the arrival of the monk Émilion—this 5.3-hectare estate in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a rarity: a single, contiguous parcel that nonetheless reveals a wide variety of soils, ranging from clay-siliceous to sandy. This allows for blends of remarkable complexity.
Acquired in 2013 by the Gintrac family along with consulting oenologist Hervé Romat, the estate produces a wine designed for aging, made from vines averaging 45 years old. Located next to Château La Fleur Morange, a newly classified Grand Cru Classé, the quality of the terroir is indisputable—and our customers have quickly snapped up every vintage.
