Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Characterized by intense, appealing, fresh fruit aromas (strawberry), of great finesse. Lovely rounded character from the outset. The wine is complex and concentrated, while superbly generous and underpinned by silky tannins. The delicious fresh fruit remains a constant throughout the tasting, until the long, flavor-filled finish. This harmonious wine is particularly appealing.

Blend: 88% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot

    This has a polished, spiced nose of black cherry, clove, chocolate and black olive. Oyster shell, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Balanced. Try from 2023.

    Lots of red plums, currants, dried spices, new leather, and tobacco notes emerge from the 2018 Château Pey La Tour Reserve Du Château, a medium-bodied, charming, elegant 2018 that does a lot right. With solid depth of fruit and an up-front, already delicious style, it should keep nicely for 8-10 years.

Chateau Pey la Tour benefits from one of the finest terroirs in the Bordeaux appellation. The wines produced at Chateau Pey la Tour owe their character to the soil type specific to the region and remarkable diversity of terroirs. The combination of soil-type, grape varieties, rootstock, age of the vines and separate vinifications and aging as led to wines of great character and complexity. The estate has achieved a reputation beyond its appellation as the model of a great, yet affordable, Bordeaux wine.

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.
