As the nights draw in and the chill of November sets in, it's the perfect time to warm up with a glass of exceptional red wine.

Embrace the longer evenings with a bottle of Château Saint-Georges from the heart of Saint-Émilion.

This full-bodied beauty radiates with aromas of baked black cherries and dark fruits, coupled with a rich, earthy finish.

Aged for 12 months in oak, it strikes a remarkable balance between freshness and complexity, making it not only delightful in its youth but also promising for aging.

Pair it with robust red meat dishes for a cozy, flavourful evening as we approach the festive season.
