Description
The refinement and aromatic richness of an Haut-Médoc red wine
The estate
Located in the Haut-Médoc appellation, at the gates of the Pauillac region, Château Peyrabon is nestled in a green haven. Owned by Patrick Bernard since 1998, Château Peyrabon has undergone major work, both in the vineyard and the cellar, in order to restructure and modernise the estate. Château Peyrabon is a very fine Haut-Médoc reference, producing elegant and powerful wines which offer a promising and superb ageing potential.
The vineyard
In the village of Saint-Sauveur Médoc, the vineyard from which this Haut-Médoc wine is produced stretches across approximately 37 hectares of vines, around twenty years old on average, rooted in sandy gravel soil and resting on a clay subsoil. Clay-limestone soils can be found on 5 hectares of the vineyard.
Winemaking and ageing
The grapes are transferred on a vibrating sorting table, are destemmed and undergo optical sorting. The plot by plot vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel tanks, with approrpiate pumping over and racking, in order to ensure a gentle extraction. Maceration for 19 to 24 days. The presses are separated and selected after tasting. The wine is aged for 14 months in barrels (25% new wood) and are then fined in tanks.
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (60%)
Merlot (30%)
Cabernet Franc (6.5%)
Petit Verdot (3.5%).
