Pitray “Grand Vin” 2021 – Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux

The 2020 vintage was very early, hot, which despite the spring rains is marked by the summer drought. Thanks to the clay-limestone soil, the vines of Pitray have not suffered from water stress and it is a fruit of great maturity but balanced that is expressed. At the tasting we feel, first of all the warmth of the vintage with notes of black fruits and very ripe tannins, then the terroir softens and tempers this expression. Here the wines are gourmet but all in velvet and refinement.

Notes of candied fruit, dried figs, currants marked by their delicacy despite the sensation of great maturity. On the palate, we find this aromatic range with present but very velvety tannins.
