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.
