Chateau Haut-Segottes, St Emilion Grand Cru 2012
- Red
- 750ml
- ABV 0.13
The 2012 Chateau Haut-Segottes Saint-Emilion Grand Cru is garnet at the rim with an opaque crimson core. This vintage enjoys a touch more body than usual with layers of vivid blackberry, currant and plum fruits and as is typical for 2012, assertive youthful tannins provide a nicely delineated frame for the whole picture. Aromatically, Haut-Segottes is always a chameleon: currants and cedar one moment, pipe tobacco, violets and black truffles the next, then wet stone and graphite but in 2012, those aromas are a touch more raw and primal. We like this vintage's less restrained expression of Meunier's classic Saint Emilion and think it makes the wine especially enjoyable to drink at a younger age. When I first checked in on this wine in 2016, it needed 45 minutes in a decanter to really show its stuff. Now, it's bursting out of the gate as soon as the cork is pulled. Still, please decant the wine and enjoy slowly if you want to maximize the experience.
