2019 Gaia de Chateau Puybarbe

Château Puybarbe has existed for several centuries and is located at the highest elevation in the heart of the appellation of “Côtes de Bourg”.

The Gaia de Chateau Puybarbe is a blend of majority Merlot, and small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The wine is fermented at cooler temperature to maintain the fermentation to retain the purity of fruit, elegance and freshness. The nose is full of toasty notes, with roasted coffee and dark cacao, ripe blackcurrants, grilled green capsicum and touch of white pepper. The medium-bodied palate is delicate with its round and fruity mouthfeel and gentle satiny tannins. The finish is spicy and fruity with fine tannins and savoury finish. Not a very complex wine but drinking lovely in its youth and complements various dishes.
