Cotes de Castillon is one of my favorite sources of value in Bordeaux and this one is particularly nice, although it looks like this chateau exists only as a bed and breakfast after the 2008 vintage. The grapes from the 40 acre vineyard (70% merlot/30% cab franc) are now used for the Esprit de Pavie bottling from the owners of Chateau Pavie who also own this estate.

Subdued, but well made. I got a LOT of red fruit, and cedar notes with pencil shavings, hay, caraway and slightly dry turned soil. Red clay, dried red flowers. I think this is more complex than the masses are giving it credit.

Yes a bit thin but love this winemaker. Nose better than taste - plum, raisin, tobacco.
