Château Puygueraud, Francs - Côtes de Bordeaux 2023 En Primeur - Case of 12



£123.00


While we invariably taste Puygueraud at one of the main Thienpont properties like Larcis Ducasse, Nicolas reminded us that many moons previously (1990 possibly?) we went to this property in the Francs which is the family home, and we must visit again as soon as we can. A date has been suggested. In the meantime we can report that Puygueraud is as good as ever, quite creamy and fleshy in the mouth with a supple blackberry jam feel on the end. It has many fans and for drinking mid-term it is an excellent Right Bank choice.

Château Puygueraud

The Thienpont family, originally from Belgium, bought this property in 1946. The 47 hectares are on a rocky outcrop above the Dordonge and around a 15th century castle.

Today, the property is run by Nicolas Thienpont and his son Cyrille with the assistance of top consultant, Stéphane Derenoncourt.The other nearby properties belonging to the Thienponts such as La Prade and Laclaverie are also made here. The vines are mainly Merlot on a clay/limestone soil. A small amount of white is also produced.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
