Château Fleur Lartigue Saint Émilion Grand Cru 1998
Château Fleur Lartigue Saint Émilion Grand Cru 1998 is a French red wine produced by S.C.E. des Vignobles Chantureau. This specific release was designated as an "Anniversary Wine 2000" and features a special label painted by the Danish artist Inge Hørup. The artwork, titled "Lyst" (Desire), centers on the woman and eroticism, exploring the contours of essence and transfiguration through its many layers. The wine was bottled at the property in Saint-Émilion.
The wine originates from Bordeaux, located by the Atlantic coast. As the world's most famous wine region, it has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and is renowned for its elegant blended wines. More specifically, the wine comes from Saint-Émilion, one of the region's most celebrated areas, situated on the right bank of the Gironde estuary east of the city of Bordeaux. The area is characterized by its historic medieval town, its own distinct classification system, and a diverse terroir featuring a limestone plateau, clay, sand, and gravel. The 1998 vintage was a highly successful and fine harvest year in Saint-Émilion, described as rich and ripe, earning a score of 90 points.
In Saint-Émilion, the vineyards are typically dominated by Merlot, which is exactly the case for this Grand Cru. The 1998 harvest yielded Merlot of particularly high quality, and it makes up 85 percent of the blend for this wine. Merlot is a classic blue grape variety that is widely cultivated in prominent wine regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Northern Italy.

The region is known for elegant, age-worthy blends of great finesse.
