Château Peybonhomme-les-Tours

2021 Nouvelle Vigne

This 'new vineyard' was situated among the estates centuries-old holdings and for several generations the family attempted to purchase the parcel to complete their vineyard such that it would be one contiguous plot. After three generations they succeeded in purchasing the vines and to commemorate this, they've fermented and bottled the site as its own cuvée, the 'Nouvelle Vigne'. This is the new Bordeaux! Where else would you find a single parcel wine that is a co-ferment of both varieties therein, 50/50 Cab Franc and Merlot? This beautiful, medium bodied and classically structured wine offers a tangy fresh rush of leafy herbs, pomegranate, cranberry, white peach, bell pepper, and black tea with enticing complexity with a food friendly build.
