The Estate
Florence Prud'homme left the center of Bordeaux in 2003, leaving behind a quiet life as an administrative assistant because she wanted to work with her hands. After careful consideration, she purchased Château Saincrit and its 4.5 hectares, not far from Bourg, in Gironde. She quickly began an organic conversion and is trying to go further, particularly through the reuse of her bottles. Today, the château spans nearly 23 hectares and is still under reconstruction, with replanting of vines, trees, and hedges.
A former equestrian, she chose a unicorn and a horse-themed design for her labels. But what truly won us over was Vanille, her puppy, who was just four months old when we first visited the estate!
The Wine
Saincrit bears the name of the eponymous Château, as it is with this cuvée that Florence's winemaking journey began. Made from 100% Merlot grapes, this classic cuvée simply brings the pleasure of fruit.
Tasting
On the first nose, aromas of ripe red fruits emerge, cherry and raspberry, followed by notes of almonds with pastry accents; A lovely sweetness on the attack, the palate is voluminous, with round and melted tannins, the finish is creamy and of great density.
