2020 Château Peybonhomme Les Tours, Côtes de Blaye, Bordeaux, France
The estate’s main wine offers a wide range of aromas from wild strawberry and blackcurrant paired with spice notes. Elegance and delicacy dominate. Straightforward in the fruity attack, fairly tannic in the mid-palate with a finish bursting with finesse.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Hubert family settled at Château Peybonhomme-Les-Tours in the village of Cars near Blaye in 1895, and six generations have followed since.
The estate is located on a hill overlooking the estuary, with the vineyards on the slopes. From its 17th-century castellated tower, we have a spectacular panoramic view of the entire estate and the Gironde estuary.
