2016 Château Puygueraud Côtes des Francs
£21.00
“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.”

Product Description
In 1946, George and Monica Thienpont (owners of Vieux Château Certan), coming from their natal Flanders, moved into Puygueraud and restored the XVth Century chateau. Then after a long pause undertook the reconstruction of the vineyard.
In 1981, Nicolas Thienpont, with his father, engaged in the transition between a production oriented viticulture to one of excellence. Since 1983, the first vintage year mark, this approach has continued.
Since 2009, Nicolas and his son Cyrille Thienpont, have worked hand-in-hand for the crafting of this wine that over the last 30 years has become the flagship of the Francs Côtes-de-Bordeaux appellation and a veritable jewel of Bordeaux.
