Château Pierre de Montignac, Médoc, Cru Bourgeois, 2016
A Cru Bourgeois from a top red Bordeaux vintage usually offers excellent value - and this long term favourite at SVS delivers in spades. Deep hue; overt aromas of toasty oak; ripe and robust black fruit with mocha, and excellent concentration, tannic spine and ripeness - and all with a traditionally moderate 13% alcohol. The blend is usually around 45-50% of each of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, plus about 5% Petit Verdot. Now-2024
The estate, with 25 hectares of vines, is owned and run by the Salette family - and has recently been accorded the rank of Cru Bourgeois Supérieur.
