Tasting notes
Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy yet elegant. Aromas of violet, dark berries and strawberry lead to a vibrant palate with juicy fruit and fine, powdery tannins.
Producer profile
Château Penin is a fifth-generation family estate in Bordeaux, overlooking the hill of Saint-Émilion. Under Patrick Carteyron's leadership, the 15-hectare vineyard is devoted entirely to quality-focused viticulture, expressing the diverse terroirs of Entre-Deux-Mers and the Dordogne's gravel terraces.
Viticulture and winemaking
Farmed using agroforestry principles, biodiversity is encouraged through tree planting, cover crops and natural pest control. This cuvée comes from gravel and sandy soils, with careful cold maceration, slow fermentation and extended ageing in concrete, followed by bottle maturation.
Food pairing
Ideal with poultry, grilled meats, vegetables and summer salads.
