Chateau Penin Les Cailloux 2019

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Bordeaux Superieru – Selected parcel where 50 cm of pebbles on a clay subsoil. The pebbles store the heat during the day and then release it during the night, hence the excellent ripeness of the grapes. The clayey subsoil ensures a good constant water supply to the vines during the hot summer period, therefor avoiding any risk of excessive hydric stress.

“A 100% Merlot selected from vines on 50cm of pebbles and gravel over clay giving density and ageability to this cuvée. Blackcurrants, cherries and wet stones on the nose, lots of minerality with soft cedar, vanilla and cinnamon spicing. Fruity and lively, intense with tannins that are both massy and full, giving a wide mouthfeel. Black chocolate, liquorice spice and aniseed with quite toasted elements too, but the fruit has such purity, really clear blackcurrants and plums. Delicious and quite mineral (slate and pencil lead) on the finish. Juicy, plush and seductive, but nuanced and finessed too. Really interesting and long lasting. Highly recommend. Ageing 12 months in French oak barrels.” 2023 – 2032
92 Points, Decanter, July 2023

Good stock

Back in 1854, the Caryeton family bought the Château Penin estate. It was then split between growing fruits and vines. However, it didn’t take long for the family to realise that grapes were the way forward and the family now owns 40 hectares of prime Bordeaux vineyards. They work with very little oak in the winery - a bit of a departure for a Bordeaux estate - as they want the special typicity of the impact of the soils their vines are rooted into be pronounced and not muted by wood. Château Penin is run by Patrick Carteyron, the fifth generation of his family to make the wine at this 50 hectare estate in the Entre-deux-Mers in Bordeaux. Annual production is only around 20,000 cases spread across all the wines from the property. The soil is deep, between 5 to 8 metres, of predominantly gravel with large pebbles deposited by the river Gironde and, with vines of an average age of 30 years old, everything is in place to produce quality wines from this terrroir. The estate has been awarded a Level 3 HVE, the top accreditation for sustainability in the winery, vineyards and social projects.
