Union de Producteurs de Saint-Emilion

Since its formation in the 1930s, the Saint-Emilion Producers’ Union has greatly evolved. From a group of six founding winemakers, the Union has expanded to welcome a further 164 growers. The Union aims to pool the resources of wine-producers in terms of production and the marketing of their stock. Château Paran Justic is situated in Saint Etienne de Lisse, at the bottom of the slopes down to Château de Pressac. This vineyard benefits from very good exposure to the south. The owner, Mr Boutros-Toni decided a few years ago to farm his vineyard in an enviromentally friendly way.

This wine has plenty of dense and plumy fruit and is fresh and juicy on the palate. The wine benefits from a long finish and has exceptionally well integrated oak tannins.

Serve at room temperature. This is a perfect partner for red meat, especially roast leg of lamb, although it makes a good match for roast poultry or moderately mature cheeses.
