Chateau Peyrelongue Saint Emilion Grand Cru

A beautiful, classic red blend. 85 percent Merlot, 10 percent Cabernet Franc, and 5 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. Each grape variety contributes its own distinctive character to this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. Merlot takes center stage, as it's the most common grape variety in St. Emilion and thrives here. Thanks to Château Peyrelongue's passion, this results in a fruity and, above all, seductive blend.

12 months of wood aging for Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Merlot is the most common grape variety in St. Emilion. Château Peyrelongue knows exactly how to use it. Combined with high-quality Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, it creates a beautiful red blend. Their small vineyard enjoys a prime location with plenty of sunshine, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly. The winery has a centuries-old tradition of winemaking, with the Bouquey family at the helm. They have 12 hectares of vineyards planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The vines have an average age of 45 years, ensuring unparalleled quality. When the grapes are fully ripe, they are harvested entirely by hand. A selection of the finest grapes is made in the vineyards. At the winery, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for approximately three weeks. The wine then matures in barriques for 12 months. The long wait is certainly worth it.

A characterful red blend wine

With a bright, deep red color, the Château Peyrelongue Saint Emilion Grand Cru emerges from the glass. The aroma reveals aromas of black cherries, blackberries, bay leaves, and fresh roses. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated, beautifully balanced, and elegantly refined. The fruity notes dance on the tongue with just the right amount of juiciness. A characterful red wine that pairs exceptionally well with poultry, game dishes, or hearty, roasted meat dishes.
