2016 Maison Blanche Le Colombier, Montagne Saint-Emilion, France
$30.00
A second label from estate fruit, Le Colombier de la Metairie, is sourced from younger-vine Merlot and Cabernet Franc and rests for 15 months in a combination of cement vat and barrel. Much more fresh and supple, this is a wine that can be enjoyed thoroughly in its youth but would reward medium-term aging.
