Château le Puy Emilien 2022 Bordeaux Côtes de Francs

A red wine from Château le Puy, made in Bordeaux Côtes de Francs from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes are picked by hand into small baskets and fully destemmed before pressing. Fermentation is anaerobic, in concrete vats, followed by two years in barriques and oak casks. The wine is straightforward and focused on fruit, with a long, pleasantly complex finish. It suits meat dishes, especially roast lamb. Ruby red, turning towards garnet with age. The nose offers plums, blackberries and cherries, followed by a marked boisé note. The palate is full and bright, with rounded tannins and good persistence.
