Winemaker Notes
A predominantly Merlot blend with added Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, Château Pey la Tour Reserve 2007 is a deep purple in color with tones of dark garnet. A bouquet reveals hints of chocolate, tobacco and spicy wood. The palate is generous and smooth, with a medium body and ripe tannins. The finish is long with an attractive, lingering aromatic intensity.

In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
