Graves AOC 2021, Chateau Puy Boyrein
Graves was the region that gave Bordeaux its reputation for fine wines - and which have been appreciated in the UK for centuries. The name Graves comes from the highly rated gravelly sandy soil that provides a perfect base for Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from which so many Bordeaux wines are made.
Chateau Puy Boyrein is situated on the old hunting grounds of Pope Clement VII and has been in the capable hands of the Medeville family since 1877.
In the glass
Ruby red in colour, the nose is packed with ripe red berry fruits including raspberry and strawberry, with a slightly more nuanced palate containing woody notes and a hint of liquorice and spice. Smooth and silky tannins, with a touch of minerality on the finish.
The grapes are from only 8 hectares of vines on the Chateau Puy Boyrein estate, in the commune of Roaillan between the Garonne River and the vast forest that borders the Atlantic. The grapes are destemmed and crushed before fermentation with daily pumping over. Temperature controlled both internally and by run-off. The wine is aged for up to 18 months in cool underground vats before being bottled at the property.
