Rouge Cadillac Côte de Bordeaux is the fruit of one of the finest terroirs in the appellation. Domaine de Saint Amand is located in Cambes, a few kilometers south of Bordeaux, and it cultivates about 3 hectares, conducted with full respect for the environment. Since 2020, the estate has been certified HVE 3 (Haute Valeur Environnementale) and has been organic since 2021. The Merlot and Malbec vines are about 30 years old and are grown on limestone-clay soils, with the presence of alluvial gravel from the Garonne. The draining soils and mild climate provide a perfect habitat for the red grape varieties, which are harvested when they reach ideal ripeness. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks with maceration on the skins and the use of CO2 to avoid unwanted oxidation. Before bottling, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fragrance of varietal aromas.

The Côte de Bordeaux Cadillac Rouge wine from Domaine de Saint Amand, allows a direct appreciation of the primary aromas of the grapes, in their full and rich expressive ripeness. Fragrant and intense, it presents an exuberant bouquet characterized by aromas of small berries, in particular blackcurrant, blueberry, wild blackberry, delicately spicy hints and light floral nuances. The palate shows rich, ripe fruit and a fine, delicate tannic texture. The sip is pleasantly juicy, broad and satisfying, lively and expressive. The finish on the palate has a good length and flavor persistence with a pleasantly fresh finish.
