    Product description

    Full tillage without herbicides; cover cropping across the estate. Manual disbudding, pruning, and thinning to control yield and enhance vine balance. Rapid two-week process with mostly spontaneous fermentations. Gentle extraction through light pump-overs and minimal cap punching. Low maceration temperatures and minimal sulphur use throughout. Fresh and expressive aromas of red berries with touch of spices. Medium-bodied on the palate with a soft and juicy texture well balanced with delicates tannins and a persistent finish.

    Awards

    Bramble fruit aromas on the nose, softly perfumed and concentrated. Bright and juicy on the palate, succulent strawberry and raspberry with elements of milk chocolate that give a creamy and round aspect to the palate. Tannins are fine and well integrated just giving a touch of chew to the fruit. Some liquorice and cedar notes towards the end with a cooling saline finish that's well presented and appealing. Drinking Window 2025 – 2040

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Château Daugay

    Château Daugay is located at the foot of the southern and southwestern part of the Saint-Emilion. The estate takes its name from geai, meaning “jay” that congregated on the hills and slopes that now bear this name. The inimitable strident cry of these birds with multi-coloured plumage warns their family that intruders have come into the forest.

    The domaine was acquired by Christian de Brouard after the second world war when it became part of Angelus. However in 1985, with the new Saint-Emilion classification, Daugay separated from Angélus and in 2006 passed into the hands of Christian’s daughter, Hélène who now manages the estate. She applies the same winemaking methods used by her family for generations.

    Vineyard & Winemaking

    The 8 hectares of vines are planted with 50 % Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon with an average of 40-year old. Combining the coolness of clay and the filtering capacities of limestone, the soil provides excellent natural drainage. The wine is aged in 25% in new oak barrels, 25% in one-year barrels, 25% in oak tank, 25% in stainless-steel tanks for several months.
