Super refined and polished with beautiful fruit and minerals. Full and beautiful. Love the quality of the tannins. Refreshing. 45% Malbec, 20% Merlot and the rest in Cabernet Franc.
Barrel Sample: 91-92 Points -

Offers a mix of dark black currant and bright damson plum fruit flavors, intertwined with singed mesquite and bergamot notes. The long, taut finish should flesh out with modest cellaring. Very solid.
Chateau Puygueraud is located in one of the smallest of the Bordeaux appellations, Cotes de Francs. With only 450 hectares, this appelation resembles a small independent state and occupies the highest slopes of the Gironde, halfway between the valleys of the Isle and the Dordogne, to the east of Saint Emilion. Created in 1967, the appellation is very much part of the Bordelais family, its wines having the precision of the best Bordeaux. Humble pearl of the Bordelais vineyards, the Cotes de Francs is nevertheless one of its most precious stones.
