2020 Château Puyanché Blanc

Description

Winemaker’s Notes:
Located in the Côtes de Francs, past Saint-Émilion, at the far eastern edge of Bordeaux, Château Puyanché boasts similar clay-limestone soils—perfect, in other words. The Côtes de Francs also benefits from some of the highest elevations in Bordeaux, as well as some of the lowest average annual rainfall. Those two factors allow the grapes there to ripen at their leisure, and to benefit from a great deal of sunshine. It’s no wonder the appellation has seen significant investment by names like Thienpont (of Vieux Château Certan fame) and Hubert de Boüard (Château Angélus).
