Chateau Guadet Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2015
The Guadet family's run at this Saint-Emilion estate ended, quite literally, with a revolution and a guillotine: Elie Guadet, the Girondin deputy who presided over the National Convention, was captured at Saint-Emilion and lost his head in the Terror. He's still on the label. Today it's a tiny, rarely-exported Grand Cru Classe run by Guy-Petrus Lignac and his son Vincent, farmed biodynamically on the limestone plateau. They chase tension and grace rather than power, fermenting with wild yeasts, dialing back new oak and even using amphorae. The 2015, from a great Right Bank vintage, is now drinking beautifully. Merlot-led and Cabernet Franc-lifted, it's rich but precise, earthy and long.
