Saint Julien is one of the legendary Bordeaux wine regions situated in Médoc. The appellation is known for its intense and complex red wines mainly made from Cabernet Sauvignon, while other permitted varieties include Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Carmenère, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.
These wines are known for their power and finesse. The nose is dominated by red and dark berries. With age, the aromas tend to evolve into notes reminiscent of prunes, cocoa, coffee, toast, and tobacco, while the best examples will display truffle and leather nuances.
The age will also soften the tannins, making the wine rounder and more velvety. These renowned wines would go well with beef, game, and veal. They could pair with braised, grilled, or stewed dishes.
