Media Reviews
Neal Martin
The 2016 Saintayme was picked from 9-15 October, cropped at 50 hectoliters per hectare and matured in 30% new oak. It has a pretty blueberry-scented bouquet with just a faint touch of iris, the oak nicely enmeshed with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of white pepper on the entry, lacking a little depth on the mid-palate but nicely detailed on the finish. This is a lovely, early-drinking Saint Emilion from Denis Duranto
Antonio Galloni
The 2016 Saintayme is a very pretty, entry-level Saint Émilion from Denis Durantou. The flavors are brisk and refreshing throughout with plenty of sweet red cherry and raspberry character. Lifted aromatics add to the wine`s precision, brightness and overall appeal. 89-92 points
