Château Puygueraud, Cuvée George, Côtes de Francs - 2018

Provenance: Bordeaux
Appellation: Côtes de Francs
Domain: Puygueraud
Grape variety(ies): 50% malbec, 45% cabernet franc, 5% merlot
On-call time: 15 years

This cuvée is a nod to George Thienpont who had a particular affection for Malbec - also called Pressac in Bordeaux - and Cabernet Franc. It is made when the quality of these grapes is remarkable, from Puygueraud's vats, but reversing the usual blending of the latter. James Suckling: 94/100
