2016 Château Puygueraud, Cotes de Francs

2016 Château Puygueraud, Cotes de Francs

Notes of dark cherry and cassis, as well as textured tannins and notes of wild herbs and violets all combine in the glass, creating a wine of class and balance. An impressive 2016, this punches well above its weight.

Tasting notes

This is so good! I want to drink it now. Iodine, mushrooms, dark fruit and orange peel on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, yet polished and fresh. Lovely tension A blend of 80 per cent merlot, 15 per cent cabernet franc and five per cent malbec.
