Château Ripeau 1990 is a dry red Bordeaux from the Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. It’s classified as a Grand Cru Classé, meaning it comes from a respected estate within the Saint‑Émilion ranking system. The wine is predominantly Merlot‑based with smaller portions of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, showing ripe dark fruit, spice and oak influence from barrel aging.
Slightly past maturity, offering evolved tertiary aromas and a softer structure.
Château Ripeau is one of the older properties in Saint‑Émilion and sits near some of the appellation’s most famous neighbours.
