An intense red. |

A beautifully expressive nose highlighted by balsamic and spiced notes, hints of graphite, and subtle aromas of wood with a touch of minty eucalyptus |

On the palate, it reveals autumnal flavors of forest floor and cassis, all supported by a touch of oak and smooth tannins. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Tucked away within the prestigious terroirs of Saint-Émilion’s most renowned Grands Crus Classés, Château Peymouton is a hidden treasure of the appellation.
This discreet estate, historically linked to Château Laroque, boasts a 31-hectare vineyard situated on the elevated plateau of the property. Managed by the same expert team, Peymouton benefits from fine, structured clay and limestone soils, producing wines of exceptional pedigree, defined by their elegance and freshness. |

| | |
|
Supported by a ripe and generous vintage, the 2018 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is showing beautiful evolution with an expressive nose of balsamic notes, graphite, sandalwood, menthol, and spices. On the palate, it delivers well-defined autumnal flavors of undergrowth and blackcurrant, underpinned by precise, well-integrated oak and finely managed tannins. A refined wine ready to be enjoyed now, with the potential to age gracefully over the next decade. Rated 92/100 by our Committee. |
