Château Peybonhomme-les Tours
Energies Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
2019 vintage. Biodynamically farmed. Merlot 60 % and Malbec 40%. Aged in amphorae, no wood. Red berries, strawberries and flowers. Very fresh in the mouth, juicy and energetic (yes, the name is well-chosen). Has a light feel about it, even with 14% abv. Delicious.

Right bank Bordeaux imitating pipeño. Old vine plots of Merlot, Malbec and Cab-sav, biodynamic farming, fermented with only native yeast and aged 12 months in amphorae (unlined?), which has performed like an old-school microbullage, mellowing the tannins and fruit, yet the results are lifted not flabby. Soft and refreshing, with a genteel savory finish and slow building tannins. Needs a vigorous decant before drinking with Trader Joe’s ‘Pastry Puffs’.

Wow just perfect synergy of technical and wild wine making. Everything integrated and seamless, other Bordeaux dreams of having this much soul and subtlety.
