Chateau Grand Peyrou Grand Cru 2021, Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion grand cru for under a hundred and fifty a case. A small estate, and I buy it every year I can. The nose is already open with expressive notes of aniseed, cinnamon and blackcurrant. The palate shows good structure, concentration and vivacity with a remarkably aromatic and long-lasting finish. Good aging potential. Merlot 80%, Cabernet Franc 15% & Cabernet Sauvignon 5%

Vinification traditional in steel tanks with a cold pre- fermented maceration. Aging:18 to 20 months in barrels (60% new oak)
