2016 Puygueraud, Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux

SKU #1385322 94 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark This is so good! I want to drink it now. Iodine, mushrooms, dark fruit and orange peel on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, yet polished and fresh. Lovely tension. A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. Inner quote mark (2/2019)

90 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark This has a good juicy core of red currant and damson plum fruit flecked with mouthwatering savory and tobacco notes through the finish. (JM) Inner quote mark (3/2019)

Jancis Robinson

Outer quote mark Nicolas Thienpont. Rich nose and real active freshness. Lots to like. So compact and well balanced. Maybe not the concentration and tannin for a very long life but excellent in the short term. *Very Good Value* (JR) Inner quote mark (4/2017)

Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Puygueraud comes bursting out of the glass with notions of red and black currants, blackberries and dried Provence herbs with a hint of charcoal. Medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy, it has a good core of fruit and a savory finish. (LPB) Inner quote mark (11/2018)

This is a classic example of the 2016 vintage in Bordeaux in that it is fruity, weighty and rich yet maintains freshness and precision. Dark plum, red berries and charcoal waft from the glass when this is poured and grow in intensity as the wine takes air. This is modern in a good way, showing plenty of fruit in the middle and a fine finish with a clean, tight grip.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Merlot

- A very popular red grape variety found in the great wines of St. Emilion and Pomerol. It is the most planted variety in Bordeaux, and it has also become an extremely fashionable red in many regions including California. Although it has a reputation to be smooth, and easy to drink when young, Merlot is also capable of producing extremely intense wines as well. It is often used as a blending agent with Cabernet Sauvignon.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
