The first serious wine from the great 2005 vintage has landed. It's a cracker of a border superieur and delivers way above its appellation.
Grape Variety: Merlot 85% Cabernet France 15%
The kernel for Pezat is a vineyard literally a pace outside of Saint Emilion Appellation - towards the river from Cahteau Teyssier near to Branne. Previously this large vineyard consisted of high trellised vines planted 3 metres apart - the norm in Rntre-des-Mers where grapes are machine picked.
Planting down the middle of the rows gave the same density as a vineyard in Saint Emilion. Additionally, on the original vines, a sucker-per-vine was allowed to grow. At which this stage the original vine was cut off, almost halving the height of the vines down to what one would expect from a hand picked vineyard in Saint Emilion. The grapes are picked and vinefied as the other wines of the Chateau - to the standard of a Saint Emilion Grand CRU.
