Marks and reviews

Vinum

Behavior, stony and cool in expression, expands on the palate, wonderful fruit, granular tannins, medium length.

/100

Decanter

Perfumed and scented on the nose. Ripe and high-toned, almost tart, but it becomes really quite juicy and clean — cherry and cranberry — with lots of mineral graphite and wet stone on the palate. A little tight and narrow, but there’s clear concentration and underlying power. Unfussy, smooth and succulent. I like this — a good option for easy drinking with freshness and nuance. Not lacking in anything, easy drinking and nicely constructed. A stand-out.

Vinous

Antonio Galloni

The 2023 Peyrabon is a bright, fruity Haut-Médoc to drink now and over the next 10-15 years. Juicy dark-fleshed fruit, graphite, crushed flowers, lavender and mocha are nicely dialed up. Soft contours wrap it all together in style. This is all charm.

Flowers, raspberries, and cherries define the core here. On the palate, the wine is forward, crisp, medium-bodied, and fresh. In character, it borders on high-toned. The wine blends, 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2027-2034.

Jane Anson

Bright, slightly austere, Left Bank crayon, cassis fruit and tannic grip, savoury but with enough flesh to be approachable within a year or two. Now owned by the Castéja family, with the former production of La Fleur Peyrabon in Lynch Moussas. 35% new oak, then 12 months in tank. Axel Marchal consultant.

Le Figaro Vin

Score: 87–89. The nose combines rich, chocolatey notes with suave aromas of white lilac and old rose. Classic with a pleasantly old-school touch, the palate is balanced before a minty finish.

Description

A Haut-Médoc red wine combining aromatic richness and balance

The estate

Located in the Haut-Médoc appellation, at the gateway to Pauillac, Château Peyrabon is nestled in a lush green setting. Owned by Patrick Bernard since 1998, Château Peyrabon has undergone significant restructuring and modernization, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Classified as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, Château Peyrabon is a very fine reference in the Haut-Médoc. It offers wines that are representative of the appellation, elegant and powerful, with superb aging potential.

Since September 2022, Château Peyrabon and Château Fleur Peyrabon have been acquired by the BCAP group (Castéja family), owners of Château Batailley and Château Lynch-Moussas, among others.

The vineyard

This Château Peyrabon 2023 is a Haut-Médoc wine stemming from a vineyard of approximately 37 hectares. Averaging 30 years of age, the vines are planted on sandy gravel resting on a clay subsoil. Clay-limestone soils are found on 5 hectares of the vineyard. The vineyard holds ISO14001-2015 and HVE (High Environmental Value) certification, with phytosanitary protection carried out using sustainable viticulture.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes, transferred by vibrating hopper, undergo destemming and optical sorting before crushing and vatting. Plot-based vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel vats. Average maceration of 21 days. The press wines are separated and then selected after tasting. Barrelling is carried out partly in barrels upon draining. Aging lasts for 14 months in barrels (30% new wood) followed by fining in vats.

Blend

Château Peyrabon 2023 is the result of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), Merlot (41%) and Petit Verdot (3%).
