"Cool and restrained on the nose. Pure, clear and very correct, this an incredibly defined and elegant wine with an impressive structure and layers of juicy fruit. Tannins are present but very stylish and there is a lovely fresh finish. Very enjoyable. The 2016 is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, which is being aged in barrels for 14 months, 25% of which are new."
Situated in the appellation of Haut-Medoc, Chateau Peyrabon is a cru bourgeois with a strong personality. Its current owner Patrick Bernard fell under the spell of the charming 50 hectare estate of promising gravel terroir in 1998. Since then, M. Bernard and his team, led by Xavier Michelet, have been passionately dedicated to creating authentic wines that are elegant, silky, and marked by their freshness and fruity character – typical of an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon.
Situated near Saint Sauveur the estate is unusual in that its vineyards are in both Haut Medoc and Pauillac appellations, sharing the same excellent gravelly terroir that really elevates the quality of its Haut Medoc.
