Château Paret

Description

Côtes de Castillon AOC

This beautiful estate situated at Saint Genès de Castillon facing the Puisseguin appellation has belonged to the family since 1887. It was in 1988 that Philippe Fauché took charge of the vineyard. Geographically well-placed bordering the vineyards of the Jurisdiction of Saint-Emilion, the vines have the advantage of being planted in three distinct terroirs that give the wine its special character.

Grape varieties:

80% Merlot – 20% Cabernet Franc

Vineyard:

Vines are planted on a clay plateau located in Saint Genès de Castillon.

Winemaking:

Grapes are selected by hands after harvested by machine sorted and de-stalked before being gently pressed in order to extract maximum colour in the juice.

Tasting note:

This wine offers a deep ruby color with high density. The nose is aromatic with black berries hint, and the palate is full-bodied with an excellent balance between strength and fruitiness.

Food pairing:

This wine is excellent with both red and white meats, game and cheese.
