Château Peymouton - G.C. | St. Emilion G.C.
Red wine | France, ST. EMILION | 2019
This wine has a rich and complex flavor, typical of the Saint-Émilion region. It offers aromas of dark fruits such as black currant, cherry, and plum, complemented by subtle spices and a light hint of oak from aging in oak barrels. The tannins are well integrated, giving the wine a smooth mouthfeel while maintaining good structure. The finish is long and fruity, with a delicate balance between the fruitiness and the refined oak notes. This wine showcases both the power of the Merlot grape and the finesse expected from a Grand Cru Saint-Émilion.

About Château Peymouton
Château Peymouton is part of the estate of Château Laroque, a historic Grand Cru
Classé of Saint-Émilion located just 3.5 km east of the medieval village.
Château Laroque, one of the largest estates of the appellation, dates back to the 12th
century. Thanks to its strategic position atop a limestone plateau overlooking the
Dordogne river valley, it acted as a key defensive stronghold to the nearby village. The
vineyard itself was planted in the 18th century. The Beaumartin family acquired the
property in 1935, and, in the 1960s, began modernizing the vineyard and winemaking
facilities.
In 1996, Château Laroque was granted Grand Cru Classé status for 27 hectares
of its vineyard while the remaining 31 hectares gave birth to a new wine: Château
Peymouton, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.
Château Peymouton is located on high plateau parcels of the estate (80-100 meters
in altitude) that are composed in part of a thin layer of rich clay over limestone, and
partly of deep, thick red clay. These soils contribute density and structure to the wine
that nonetheless retains the elegance imparted by the limestone.
