Just curious, what is it that you dislike about right bank wines or is it just St. Emilion?

Never had this one but..

"A good cru on the sandy glacis south-east of Figeac, whose old vines resisted the 1956 frost, preserving the quality better than at many crus in the area. No weedkillers are used in the vineyards and they use organic fertilizers. The wines are matured in cask, with 15% new oak used. The wines are very scented, supple anf full-flavoured, delicious for early drinking, with plenty of vibrant fruit, yet also age well". Bordeaux by David Peppercorn 2nd Ed (1991)

Looking up in Feret, it appears that this is a AOC St. Emilion Grand Cru, an AOC whose name I find very off putting. The vineyard is 11ha
