Description
Château Puy Blanquet, St Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France, 2015
Grapes: A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. 20% of the wine is aged in oak for 12 months.
This fruity dry red wine has a mid purple red in colour, good fruit on the nose, cherry, raspberry and hints of herbal spice come through from this fresh and generous Saint Emilion. Medium bodied, with good concentration, rich damson and cherry with notes of cedar and tobacco. The tannins on the palate are gentle, and there is a core of pure, juicy red fruit.
"The medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Puy-Blanquet opens with notes of crushed red plums, black raspberries and lavender with touches of bay leaves and fertile soil. Medium-bodied, soft, lively and with plenty of juicy red fruits, it finishes with a refreshing lift."
89/100 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, February, 2018
Chateau Puy Blanquet is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes. Chateau Puy Blanquet is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.
