Château de Pitray Côtes de Castillon 2016


The Château de Pitray of the 2015 vintage is simply a sensation in terms of quality and good value for money. The 2015 vintage is considered the outstanding vintage in the Bordelais region. It produced the best grapes ever in the Bordeaux region’s modern history, alongside 2009 and 2010. The winery is located in Gardegan in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation with its plateaus composed of limestone and clay, situated on the right bank of the Gironde River, just 8 kilometres from Saint-Émilion. This splendid Château has been owned by the Pitray family for 600 years. It would be a worthy setting for every Harry Potter film. The remarkable limestone and clay soils provide excellent conditions for the Merlot grapes that make up 75% of this assemblage. The cuvée of the 2016 de Pitray further consists of 23% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. In the vineyards, interventions in nature are minimised as far as possible; herbicides are not used, for example. The wine matured for 12 months in barriques and offers impressive harmony and elegance. The 2016 Château Pitray can already be enjoyed now but will be a real delight over the next 5-8 years. We recommend decanting the wine at least one hour before drinking it. The wine offers lovely aromas of dark, ripe fruit such as bilberries, blackberries and wild strawberries, wonderfully accompanied by round, fine tannins. Nothing is in the wrong place here. The notes of wood emphasise the wine’s finesse without drowning it. The 2016 Château Pitray has a well-defined, precise bouquet with blackberry and crushed strawberry fruit, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, not much depth here, but very well balanced with a silky smooth finish. This comes highly recommended, since it is usually well priced. The Château de Pitray 2016 is an ideal accompaniment to grilled dishes, game, meat loaf, roast beef and cheeses. It is also lovely on its own to enjoy with friends.

Plaisir de Siaurac 2020
Seit 1832 im Besitz der Familie Guichard ist dieses wunderschöne Anwesen nicht nur eine bauliche Ikone, sondern auch die Weine sind ständig im Aufwind, und das bei noch sehr moderater Preisgestaltung. Der Plaisir de Siaurac ist der Zweitwein des Châteaus, das seit dem Jahr 2016 ausschließlich biologische und biodynamische Anbautechniken einsetzt. Der 2020er Plaisir de Siaurac ist für uns eine der Entdeckungen dieses wundervollen Jahrganges, der eine echte Alternative zu wesentlich teureren Pomerols darstellt. Er setzt sich zusammen aus 85% Merlot und 15% Cabernet Franc und seine Betonung liegt auf seiner schönen Frucht, verbunden mit sehr feinen und geschliffenen Tanninen. Dies liegt auch an den idealen Wetterbedingungen des Jahres 2020 balancieren, aber nicht dominieren. Mit wie viel Liebe zum Detail der Plaisir de Siaurac 2020 bereitet wurde, zeigt sich auch daran, dass im Juni ein individueller Laubrückschnitt je nach Bedarf der Parzellen vorgenommen wurde, um jeder Lage gerecht zu werden. Wir empfehlen, den 2020er Plaisir de Siaurac etwa 1 Stunde vor dem Genuß zu dekantieren. Er wird noch mindestens 5 Jahre seine Genußreife halten und überzeugt sowohl als fruchtiger Sommerbegleiter, als auch als food-pairing mit rotem Fleisch, Gegrilltem und einem guten Steak.
