Description
Château Amelisse is a family-owned estate in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, passed down through generations and managed for more than 15 years by Thierry Courrège, who oversees both the vineyards and the cellar. Its Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, offering a modern, approachable style with excellent depth and character.
Located on the eastern side of the appellation, Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse is home to clay-limestone slopes that form part of the UNESCO-listed landscape surrounding the historic hilltop village of Saint-Émilion. The Grand Cru designation reflects stricter production standards and lower yields than standard Saint-Émilion wines, helping to deliver greater concentration and quality.
Open a bottle this weekend with roast lamb or beef, and save the rest for Christmas dinner.
Tasting Note
Château Amelisse has aromas & flavours of brambles, red fruits & vanilla, the tannins are ripe and rounded giving a silky-smooth mouthfeel with a pleasing structure and density.
