The one blended Corsini wine. This, effectively, is the farm’s secondlabel, created to enable it to keep a high standard with its other wines (everything is estatebottled at Ruggeri Corsini; nothing is sold in bulk to traders, a fact that makes quality controlfor a wine like Matot particularly important). Matot is, as Nicola says, a glass of Piedmontesered. Based on Dolcetto, with varying percentages of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Albarossa and PinotNero.

Clean and focused with blackberry and dark-bark aromas and flavors. Medium to full body and firm, creamy tannins with length and focus. Lavender and berries with chocolate undertones. Very polished and flavorful. Drink or hold.
The Mähler-Besse family knows the terroir in Saint Emilion extremely well and has worked closely with the best partners there to produce great wines. Present in Saint Emilion since 1937 with the acquisition of Château Cheval Noir, Mähler-Besse consolidated their position in this appellation with the purchase of Château La Couronne in 1992. Cheval Noir Saint Emilion is a blend made from a meticulous selection of lots from our estates and partner winegrowers.
The grapes come from clay-limestone and siliceous-gravel plots in Saint Emilion that produce elegant, fruity wines year in and year out. Contributing his considerable experience and know-how, Hubert de Boüard – oenologist and co-owner of Cheval Noir’s neighbour, Château Angélus – has been a consultant for the making of Cheval Noir Saint Emilion since 2010.
The lots of wine are carefully chosen, blended, and aged in order to display roundness, balance, and intrinsic fruitiness.
