Château le Peyrat
Château le Peyrat sits in Castillon – Côtes de Bordeaux, the eastern extension of the Bordeaux region where clay and limestone soils produce structured, age-worthy reds. The winery's flagship blend marries Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the classical pairing of the Right Bank. Cabernet Sauvignon brings backbone and dark fruit; Merlot adds roundness and plum-forward character. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have both assessed the estate's work, with the Castillon – Côtes de Bordeaux bottling earning an average prestige rating of 88.9. The appellation itself has gained recognition for delivering serious Bordeaux expression at a more measured price point than the Left Bank's grand crus. Château le Peyrat's wine reflects that terroir: a Castillon blend built on the region's signature balance of power and elegance.
