Good to know: Produced under the expert direction of the late Denis Durantou—the visionary winemaker behind Pomerol's legendary Château L'Église-Clinet—Saintem (also written as Saintayme) represents one of the best value hidden gems in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. Sourced from a dedicated nine-hectare parcel of mature 35-year-old vines in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, the wine benefits from the same uncompromising standards and precision winemaking as Durantou's top Pomerol estates, bringing elite Right Bank craftsmanship to a broader audience.

The 2018 Saintem Saint-Émilion Grand Cru captures the sheer radiance and generous character of a phenomenal Bordeaux vintage. Crafted entirely from 100% Merlot and aged in 30% new French oak, the warm, sun-drenched 2018 growing season allowed the grapes to achieve optimal sugar maturity and deep concentration while retaining vibrant natural acidity. The result is a wine of radiant fruit, remarkable purity, and accessible elegance.

On the nose, it opens with an alluring bouquet of ripe black cherries, plum preserves, and dark cocoa, accented by subtle hints of lavender, cedarwood, and unsmoked cigars. The palate is silky, medium-to-full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, offering plush red and dark pit fruits over soft, velvety tannins and a long, mineral-tinged finish. Its generous structure and fresh profile make it a versatile partner for rich dishes, pairing effortlessly with pan-seared ribeye steak, roast duck, braised beef, crispy roasted pork belly (Lechon), or creamy cheeses like Brie and Manchego.

Great wine bar. They offer a wide selection of wine & the tapas are delicious. I didn't think I'd enjoy bread with olive oil as much as I did! Gambas, patè & croquettes were also delicious. We went at around 2pm and it was quiet - we just wanted something light and available. I believe they offer a variety of meats that has to be pre ordered? We would love to come back. Also, very good service.

Txanton offers a focused and authentic take on Spanish dining, grounded in its role as a jamonería and its clear respect for quality produce and tradition. At the heart of the menu is the jamón. The jamón tasting menu is particularly impressive, presenting six different varieties that span the full spectrum of cured ham, each one expertly prepared and deeply flavourful. The supporting dishes are equally strong, including excellent gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimps), a rich and comforting arroz cremoso con frutos de mar (seafood creamy rice), and bold chorizo picante a la brasa (spicy chorizo) with smoky depth. Dessert is distinctive and well judged, with the crema de queso (cream cheese) paired beautifully with PX wine, raisins, and a Tempranillo cookie. Service is relaxed and courteous, with staff providing thoughtful recommendations and attentive care throughout. The setting is welcoming and unpretentious, echoing the atmosphere of a traditional Spanish dining room - ideal for sharing plates, conversation, and good wine. Txanton succeeds in delivering a genuine Spanish experience, excelling in its jamón while offering a consistently well-executed menu.
