Chateau Pericou AOP Bordeaux Rouge

Château Pericou's AOP Bordeaux Rouge is a classically structured blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering a harmonious expression of the Right Bank tradition. The 2022 vintage opens with dominant ripe plum and black cherry aromatics, supported by a juicy berry medley on the palate. Soft, well-integrated tannins provide structure without harshness, while secondary notes of vanilla and cocoa add depth and roundness. A subtle herbaceous character and hints of cedar suggest careful oak aging, with emerging earth and tobacco notes pointing toward graceful evolution. The medium-full body and balanced acidity make this wine approachable now while retaining cellaring potential.
