Château Peybonhomme-les-Tours

A generous, plush, easy-drinking rendition of the right bank's signature darling: Merlot. This wine shows that careful, biodynamic farming brings great fruit into the winery and great fruit does not always need big oak and heavy extraction to deliver on the promise of great wine. A gentle maceration and slow fermentation followed by a short winter's élevage in concrete serves up a red-fruited, moreish Merlot packed with raspberry compôte, red plum purée, and red currant jam. This is an honest style of varietal merlot we all hope to encounter more often. A bistro wine par excellence.
