Aurelius Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Red Wine, 750 ml

Marcus Aurelius Probus was a glorious Roman emperor in the 3rd century of our era. He developed vine culture and winemaking in Gaul, especially in Bordeaux area. Some vestiges from this period are still presents in Saint-Emilion today. The Union de Producteurs de Saint-Emilion would like to tribute to his heritage he gave us in naming its flagship wine Aurelius.
Aurelius is made from a selection of very different parcels of vines from some 30 specifically chosen domains across the appellation, covering all the 8 communes of Saint-Emilion. It is the only wine that is truly representative of all the soils that go to. A classy, silky wine with plenty of new oak on the nose and palate very well balanced with juicy red and black fruit and fine tannin.
