Puygueraud Francs Cotes de Bordeaux Blanc 2016 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Bordeaux
R395
‘The 2016 Puygueraud Blanc is bright, crisp and intensely saline, with that classic touch of reduction that adds character and tension to the citrus, orchard fruit, sage and floral notes. This is very nicely done. The blend is 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sauvignon Gris. In 2016, the Blanc is absolutely delicious. Tasted three times. 2018-2024’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100
‘This has a nice, chiseled feel, showing chive, sweet pea, mâche and chamomile notes that streak by, with a flash of lemon peel through the finish. Small in scale, but with terrific purity and cut.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100

Producer information | Château Puygueraud is located in the small Côtes de Bordeaux Francs appellation of Bordeaux. In 1946, George and Monica Thienpont purchased Château Puygueraud and undertook the replanting of the vineyards which had been destroyed during World War II. As a result their first vintage was produced in 1983. Their vineyards consist of a majority of Merlot, followed by Cabernet Franc and Malbec. |
