Château Le Pré du Moine Cuvée Peyrou 2016
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
Something special happened in Bordeaux (again!) in 2016.
On the heels of the equally fantastic 2015 vintage, 2016 was marked by another near-perfect growing season, which saw the region’s reds hit terrific levels of richness. Critics raved and, despite the high prices of the big-name wines, collectors reached for their wallets.
Back-to-back vintages of this quality don’t come along very often. And perhaps the most exciting thing about such banner years: the sun shines equally on all estates (not just the $1,000-a-bottle icons like Château Lafite).
The big winner from a small, family estate
At the 18th-century Château Le Pré du Moine, the Charrut family harvested gloriously ripe Merlot and Cabernet for their special 'Cuvée Peyrou,' which then went on to win a prestigious gold medal.
This is classic Bordeaux, with all the ripeness of the 2016 vintage, plus a freshness that keeps you coming back for more. Decant an hour before serving – this will ‘open up’ the wine’s wild strawberry and cassis flavors – then enjoy with roasted red meats or hard cheeses. Delicious.
Small production means: limited cases imported. Order your share now.
