(9/2019) Chateau Peybonhomme is a small, sixth-generation producer in Bordeaux's Cotes de Blaye. This bottling called "Quintessence" is a blend of primarily old-vine Malbec and Merlot from their biodynamically farmed vineyards with an average vine age of 55 years. The wine is aged for one year in new oak and then the best barrels are selected for bottling. Only 375 cases were produced. This is a must-try for any Bordeaux fan. The fruit is dark and deep with wonderfully integrated notes of oak spice and gravelly earth notes. The texture is silky smooth with vibrant acidity and a very long finish. Simply outstanding!
