<p>Chateau Peymouton, St Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France, 2019Grapes: A blend of 72% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, clay/limestone soils, average 38 year old vines on 76 acre vineyard, fermented in stainless steel and part aged in French oak barrelsThe unclassified part of Chateau Laroque (Grand Cru Classé). J-P Moueix exclusivity since 2019 (replaces Ch Puy-Blanquet).Critics’ Tasting Notes:”Unfussy and easy to drink, this is the St Emilion Grand Cru from Châtau Laroque, owned by the Beaumartin family. Plenty of raspberry and strawberry notes, less polished than many St Emilions you can find in the vintage, but charming because of that, with sappy tannins, smoked earth and liquorice notes. Harvest October 1 to 14, from clay over limestone soils.” Drink 2024-203688/100 points, Jane Anson, INSIDE BORDEAUX, November 2021“A firm, savory young Bordeaux with tobacco, redcurrant and crushed-stone character, as well as some bark. It’s medium-bodied with solid tannins and a flavorful finish. Needs time to soften. Better in 2024.”91/100 points, James Suckling, January 2022Chateau Peymouton, St Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France, 2019</p>
