Tasting Notes
A fine, elegant wine with plump red berried fruit and delicate hints of oak spice. Smooth and supple on the palate, with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish.
About
Château Preuillac is located in the heart of the Médoc. The vineyard covers 30 hectares on a single site. The average age of the vines is 40 years.
The vineyard is managed according to the principles of ‘la lutte raisonnée’, or sustainable viticulture. The soils are cultivated in order to limit the use of herbicides; and sprayings are only used when absolutely necessary. Much of the work in the vineyard is done by hand, such as green harvesting and debudding in order to optimise the quality of the harvest.
The wine is a blend of Merlot 70%, Cabernet Franc 25%, Cabernet Sauvignon 4%, and Petit Verdot 1%.
The grapes were carefully destemmed and fermented in thermo-regulated wooden tanks. Fermentation started off at cool temperatures and lasted between eight to 10 days, during which the wine was oxygenated by daily pumping over and rack and returns.
The temperature was increased during vinification finishing at 28°C. 70% of the wine was matured in French oak barrels, from different cooperages, for a period of 12 months. Part malolactic fermentation took place in the barrels.

Aged cheeses, especially Gouda, Lamb, game fowl.
