VINTAGE
With historic spring frosts, this vintage did not really begin as we
wanted. 2017 will not be the most abundant vintage of the decade
! On the other hand, beautiful summer and autumn gave us fruity
and elegant wines...
VINEYARD
Château La Peyruche is located on beautiful hills overlooking the
Garonne. This wine comes from an « assemblage » of plots with
gravelly red and clay-limestone soils.
GRAPE VARIETIES
This red wine is made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity. After vatting, the
fermentations are started. The maceration phase lasts about three
weeks. The wine is then put in barrels. This aging phase in barrels
(new, one wine and two wines) lasts from 12 to 14 months.
TASTING
This wine comes from a selection of our most beautiful parcels. On the nose, notes of cherry and cassis are perceived. A touch of
vanilla and spicy notes enrich a complex aromatic bouquet. On the palate, this wine reveals a powerful tannic structure and a
good length.
FOOD AND WINE PAIRING
Serve at room temperature 16-18°C. This wine will ideally accompany your red meats and cheese plates.
Côtes de Bordeaux Rouge - Fût de Chêne 2017
Intensified by barrel aging, the tannins of this great wine become rounder with the years, revealing a solid and unctuous structure.
