Widely available at €18.00 to €21.00
Vin vivant, living wine, "full of taste"
A smooth and supple wine from Bordeaux’s Chateau de Peyronin. The vineyard may be found in the Entre-Deux-Mers area, perhaps the most scenic of the entire Bordeaux vineyard. The aromatic wine is, as you’d expect, a blend (60% Merlot, 20% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon), and it is organic.
It is highly aromatic, packed with sensations of cherry, raspberry and blueberry. The same fruit and spicy elements also enliven the palate. A nice touch of acidity helps to balance it, and the finish is dry and lengthy. It is well-structured and a terrific match for red meats and many cheeses (including Gubbeen!). Serve at 17 degrees. Silky and fruit-driven, it is a wine that is heartily recommended.
The Château itself is a historic property, a lovely example of traditional French architecture often associated with wine estates and vineyards. It is also a popular location for wine tourism, where the “happy owners” offer guided tours, tastings, and the opportunity to explore the beautiful surroundings.
Owners Véronique and Franck, who had met while students at the local Lycée Agricole de Libourne-Montagne, began their adventure at Château Moulin de Peyronin in 2006. The two 25-year-olds now had over 14 ha of vines on their hands. It had been managed organically since 1975. They continued on that road and went on to convert the vineyard to Biodynamics during the year 2017.
