Chateau Lafaurie Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion

Château Lafaurie's Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion is a classically structured Right Bank Bordeaux built on an 80% Merlot foundation, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc adding depth and complexity. The wine opens with dominant black cherry and dark plum aromatics, supported by subtle cassis undertones that speak to the region's terroir.

On the palate, medium-full body and balanced medium tannins create a food-friendly profile without heaviness. Cedar and tobacco notes emerge in the mid-palate, suggesting careful oak aging, while earthy minerality in the finish hints at the limestone-clay soils of Puisseguin. This is a wine built for the table—equally at home with grilled meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses.
