Description
About:
2015 vintage enjoyed a warm, dry summer, providing excellent ripeing conditions for the grapes, and a dry hot autumn - perfect for a harvest. 2015 will go down in Bordeaux history as one of the best vintages in recent years. Chateau Picoron maximised its vintage this year, delivering a incredibly complex wine which will celler for years. This has been bottled ready to drink, with light mellow tannis.
Tasting Notes:
Smooth, fruity, dry yet beautifully deep in flavour. Garnet colour with a hint of vermillion. Very fresh nose dominated by liquorice with a hint of star anise. Subtle hints of vanilla. A full-bodied, fleshy attack on the palate with silky, mellow tannins coming through. Long finish with quite a fresh aftertaste.
Competition Wins & Notes:
“This fine, perfumed wine is richly endowed with tannins and black fruit. It has good concentration as well: ripe and juicy, with its acidity and crisp texture in place. Drink from 2019.” - WineEnthusiast

About this company
A Bordeaux winery producing expressions of Merlot, which represent the many generations of our winery. We produce wine for our parents, children & friends. Established in 1570, for now under the care of Australians Glenda & Frank. All our wine is vinified plot by plot in very limited production.
Backed by the hills of the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, Château Picoron is located in the heart of the town of Sainte-Colombe, which overlooks the Dordogne valley. Coming from the Latin "picus" (pic), it owes its name in particular to its elevated position, particularly favorable to the cultivation of the vine and to the production of the best wines. Remarkable in its location, the Picoron estate is also remarkable in its history.
