Chateau Peyrabon - Cru Bourgeois Superieur - Haut-Medoc

This 2018 wine hails from Haut - Medoc, Bordeaux, France, on the renowned left bank of Bordeaux. Chateau Peyrabon crafts a refined blend featuring 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Winemaker Patrick Bernard is meticulous, hand - sorting grapes and fermenting them in separate tanks to bring out each grape's unique traits. The wine offers an enticing aroma of wild red fruits, violets, and nutmeg. On the palate, it presents sophisticated notes of tobacco leaf, cardamom, and cocoa nibs that pair beautifully with ripe red fruit flavors. It's an excellent choice to accompany richer meat dishes like braised lamb and veal.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour before pouring. This helps to open up the flavors and aromas. When serving, keep it at a cool room temperature around 60 - 65°F. Pair it with richer meat dishes such as braised lamb and veal for the best flavor combination. After opening, if there's any wine left, re - cork it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. It can stay fresh for up to 3 days. Remember, don't expose the wine to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can damage the quality of the wine.
