It is fermented in stainless steel tanks and undergoes a seven-month aging process in French oak barrels before bottling. On the eyes, the wine displays an intense, deep ruby red color. The nose opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe black fruits, powerful licorice aromas, blueberry, and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the dominant Merlot imparts a rich, approachable roundness and a solid texture. These bold dark fruit and spice notes integrate cleanly alongside well-balanced, firm tannins, resulting in a highly elegant profile with a long, refined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eGiven its classic, savory profile and robust structure, this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru pairs exceptionally well with rich, hearty meats. It serves as a natural counterpart to roasted or grilled beef, prime rib, and wild game like venison, where the wine's balanced tannins cut through the fat perfectly. It also complements duck breast, braised lamb shanks, or earthy mushroom risottos. For a more casual option, its dark fruit flavors can hold their own alongside well-seasoned dishes like a rich jambalaya or an artisanal charcuterie board featuring cured meats and aged, hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e750mL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnson Brothers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50209382236381,"sku":null,"price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5318\/files\/212307__20356.webp?v=1790100894","url":"https:\/\/taylorswineshop.com\/products\/grands-periples-2022-saint-emilion-grand-cru","provider":"Taylor's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
