Château de Peyrel Blanc

Description

Château de Peyrel is located in the French region of Bergerac, just east of Bordeaux. Like its much more famous neighbour, the region is known mostly for red wines made primarily from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. And like Bordeaux, the region's white wines are some of the wine world's best-kept secrets! We're thrilled to share this example from Château de Peyrel, made from fruit sourced from the winery's 60-plus year old vines. It's primarily made from Sémillon, with a small percentage of both Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc added for aromatic complexity. Ageing on fine lees adds depth and texture to this fresh, dry wine, and there's no oak used at all, preserving the wine's natural freshness and fruit-forward nature. Enjoy this blend at about 8 C over the next 2-3 years.

Pairing

Try this Sémillon-heavy blend with Thai red curry or Palak Paneer - it pairs well with spicy dishes so don't be afraid of some heat!
