Description
Still Bordeaux red, 14% ABV, produced by Reignac. Blend: 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2019 vintage. A wine that embodies the elegance of the Bordeaux terroir, with meticulous vinification and aging that enhances its complexity. The soil is composed of clay and gravel on the surface. Manual harvest in small baskets, with shoot thinning, double defoliation, and cluster thinning. Cold maceration before fermentation. Traditional alcoholic fermentation with the wine racked into barriques while still warm from malolactic fermentation. Aged 100% in French oak barrels for 12 months. The nose is generous, displaying notes of blackcurrant, plum, and wood. Deep purple color. On the palate, it is well-balanced with soft tannins and an explosion of red fruit.

The original Château was built by Seigneur Baude de Peyron in the 16th century. Remodeled in the 18th and 19th centuries. A remarkable greenhouse was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the man who created the tower that bears his name in Paris. Yves and Stephanie Vatelot, purchased Reignac in 1990 and have worked continuously ever since to restore the state to its former glory while introducing numerous innovations. The very talented Michel Rolland is their consulting oenologist.
