Château Penin Grande Sélection 2016

"A selection matching its ambitions Soil - Very deep gravely soil, pebbles, sand, gravels. Very poor soil and filtering which requires the roots to descend very deeply: a qualitative pledge for the grapes. Grape varieties - Merlot 100 % Production - 75 000 bottles Vine-growing & vinification - Careful selection of grapes - Soft extraction of tannins - Preservation of the fruit by controlled oxidation - The ageing is done in fine-grained Allier oak. - The wines traditionally age for a period of 12 months, of which 5 are spent on the lees. Tasting and consumption - A harmonious, rich and fleshy wine, with vanilla aromas coming from the oak, mingling well with jammy red berry fruit notes. - The overall impression is complex, fine, mellow and full of charm. - A wine that is unanimously accepted by consumers. Food and Wine pairing - Ideal for grilled meats. - Conservation between 7 to 15 years according to the vintages."
