Château la Peyruche

We're starting the year off easy with a delightful new winery in Côtes de Bordeaux, namely, Château La Peyruche. The Château goes back to 1603, and has continuously been the fertile ground of grapes, vegetables, grass for livestock and flowers for honey. Today the proprietors are a father and son interested in regenerative farming, and making wine the way they did before Modernization. 

The estate is named after its limestone bedrock, which lies beneath a gentle exposition with varying degrees of clay. As goes the typical parking-lot style of terroir common to Bordeaux proper, this is a much more exciting place for wine with power, finesse and elegance. 

 We've begun simply with their first completely natural cuvée (spontaneous fermentation and no added SO2). It's a fruity, velvety Merlot with all the bite that the place suggests. It is delicious, affordable, and sure to win the hearts of Bordeaux dads and natural wine cousins alike
