Maison Cardinale: Where Porcelain Meets Terroir

Maison Cardinale: Where Porcelain Meets Terroir

There is a detail about La Maison Cardinale that stays with you. Before there were vines, there was porcelain. The Decoster family spent three decades in the Limoges porcelain industry – masters of craft, precision and the art of presentation, before Dominique and Florence Decoster turned their attention to Saint-Émilion in 2001, acquiring what would become Château Fleur Cardinale. That heritage is not incidental. It runs through everything the estate does, from the way a wine is poured to the way a story is told.

After visiting more than thirty countries and nearly two hundred cities around the world, it is rare to encounter a place that seems to operate at its own gentle rhythm. Adelaide does exactly that.
