Cuvee Pervenche

2011 Castillon Cotes De Bordeaux Merlot 90% Cabernet Franc 10%

The Clos Puy Arnaud Cuvee Pervenche from the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux region is a splendid representation of the classic Bordeaux blend, showcasing a harmonious mix of ninety percent Merlot and ten percent Cabernet Franc. This delightful red wine exhibits a medium body with a bright acidity that brings a refreshing lift to its profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark cherry, plum, and subtle hints of blackberry, which are beautifully complemented by a touch of herbal undertones. The finely integrated tannins offer a firm structure without overwhelming, allowing for a balanced and elegant finish. This wine is notably dry, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes, from rich meats to hearty vegetarian entrées, while also holding its own as a delightful choice for a cozy evening by the fireplace. With its expressive character and depth, the Clos Puy Arnaud Cuvee Pervenche is a remarkable choice for any Bordeaux enthusiast.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
