The growing season brought challenges, including spring frost and a relatively cool summer, but a favorable September allowed the grapes to ripen steadily. Merlot, the dominant grape in Saint Émilion, performed well on the region’s limestone and clay soils. The wines typically show vibrant red and dark fruit, floral aromatics, and refined tannins, supported by bright acidity. Overall, 2021 Saint Émilion wines are graceful and well balanced, with purity of fruit and polished structure. They are approachable earlier than the richer recent vintages, yet still capable of developing beautifully with time in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Dot Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51867129643291,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/3203\/8171\/files\/Chateau_Figeac.png?v=1772971889","url":"https:\/\/reddotwine.sg\/products\/chateau-figeac","provider":"Red Dot Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
