Note di degustazione
Offering plenty of soft black cherry fruit, licorice, spice box, and plum, this medium-bodied 2005 is dark plum/ruby/purple and delivers loads of fruit. This beauty is drinking well already and should continue to do so for the next 7-10 years.

Bright medium ruby. Sexy, ripe aromas of plum, redcurrant, smoke and minerals. Big, plummy and round; unusually rich and ripe for this Cotes de Francs estate. A broad, chocolatey big boy that finishes with substantial but ripe, dusty tannins. Very satisfying.
(70% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 5% malbec) Good full red. Superripe aromas of black fruits, licorice, black pepper and bitter chocolate. Atypically rich and full for this wine, but with lively acids and calcaire energy giving shape to this deeply fruity wine. Finishes broad and long, with a saline nuance. A large-scaled but fresh Puygueraud, with alcohol of 14.8%. According to Nicolas Thienpont, there is no separate Cuvee George in 2005 because the malbec suffered in the dry conditions of the growing season.
Informazioni sul produttore
The Thienpont family bought Ch. Puygueraud in 1946, running it as a farm until the 1980s when Nicolas Thienpont moved the focus to viticulture, with the first vintage in 1983. Based in the Francs Côtes de Bordeaux, the property comprises 47 hectares of vines, both red and white.
