Le Roc de ChÃĒteau Puybarbe 2019
Red Bordeaux Blend from Cotes de Bourg, Bordeaux, France
Château Puybarbe is located in the heart of the appellation of “Côtes de Bourg”. Three parallel lines of hills, along the Gironde estuary (just opposite the Margaux appellation in Médoc) gave this wine region its nick name of “Small Switzerland of Bordeaux”. The estate Chateau Puybarbe is located on the highest point of the third ridge line and offers a unique panorama that extends to Bordeaux embracing the whole Bourg area.
It is a full-body wine, aged 18 months in French oak barrels. It boasts dark and powerful fruit, blackberries and black cherries with a hit of spice. The tannins are bold and will soften with age.
