Chateau Pey La Tour Bordeauxx Superieur Red Wine France

Region : France Type : Red Wine Grape : 95% Merlot,2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet France ABV : 14% Rating Vivino 4.0 The vintage 2020 is an early, demanding vintage, which afforded the teams little respite. This was a year defined by nerve-racking disease pressure and contrasting weather. Winter was mild and wet, fully replenishing water reserves in the soils, and followed by a particularly hot spring with plentiful rainfall. The conditions promoted vine growth, and coaxed budburst and flowering to arrive ten to fifteen days in advance, varying from parcel to parcel. The dry summer and lack of water set in later this year, and was also cooler than the norm. From mid-July onwards, the heat triggered perfect maturation in the grapes, while lack of water carries the promise of great complexity and generous tannins. This vintage is defined by the 10-day precociousness, small berries, high quality, tannic juices and terrific aromatic freshness. Tasting Notes Pey La Tour 2020 is deep, concentrated and violet-tinged, leading to an intensely aromatic bouquet of dark fruits, with the emphasis on blackberry and dark cherry. Attractive, full-bodied and intense on the palate, the wine culminates in a beautifully poised finish.
