Fun and educational visit with Marie at Château Fleur Cardinale We had a great visit at Château Fleur Cardinale. I'm a little bit of a Bordeaux collector and know a thing or two about wine. My wife, not so much, and our 14 year old son knows only that I have more wine than I'll ever drink, and he's going to get the rest. Marie's tour of the winery, the vineyards, and the chateau had something for all of us. We learned about the DeCoster family's purchase of the vineyard, and the younger generation of the family trying to take the vinification and marketing to state of the art contemporary…

Awesome wine in the best setting in St Emillion. Loved the new building and equipment and the comprehensive tour. Blind tasting added a nice dimension to analysis of the wines.
