Château Sainte-Marie Vieilles Vignes Entre-deux-Mers 2022
Vieilles Vignes partially surrounds Sainte-Marie near the town of Targon and consists of 25 hectares (62 acres) of mainly clayey limestone.
Striking for its outstanding bouquet of pretty white flowers and pink grapefruit. Its elegant, characteristic nose is very nicely balanced. Multiple layers on the palate.

Château Sainte-Marie Vieilles Vignes Entre-deux-Mers 2022
A perennial favorite, this wine is a serious overachiever in the region that has historically been dominated by over-cropped vineyards, huge yields and chemical viticulture. No pesticides or herbicides are used here and vineyard density is 2-3 times the norm.
Plowing of the soils is a given and the results are evident in the wine. Layers of minerals, sappy texture and crisp acidity follow a nose that leans towards sauvignon without being vegetal. Skin maceration pre-fermentation helps develop complexity and tension that is uncommon for the appellation.
Citrus and melon dominate the nose with some cut hay.
