VINTAGE
The 2018 spring was capricious, between rainy episodes and hail
risks. But a beautiful summer and especially a beautiful late
season allowed to harvest healthy grapes at full maturity, giving
this 2018 vintage an exceptional quality.
 
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 blackberry 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.
