Château Puynard - Tradition 2018
Château Puynard is located in Berson, in the Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation area. Taken over in 2016 by Andrew Eakin , the objective has always been to produce the best possible with the desire to experiment, through blends, containers and aging. The conversion to organic farming of the estate was an integral part of the takeover project. Andrew began his journey into the wine industry in 2010 when he established the 'Bottle Apostle' wine, beer and spirits stores in London. Moving from retail to production and sales has given him a broad understanding of the entire process and has certainly given him a much deeper appreciation for each bottle made, sold and consumed. Through organic viticulture and improved cultivation techniques, Château Puynard strives to craft Bordeaux Right Bank wines that reflect the vineyards in which they are grown.
Château Puynard Tradition 2018 is made from Merlot whose vines are 35 years old. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats for 28 days. The wine is aged in vats.
Grape variety: 100% Merlot
