Château Rigaud
Château Rigaud sits in Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion, a satellite appellation of Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux's Right Bank. The vineyard produces two principal wines. Its Puisseguin Saint-Émilion blends Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the classic Right Bank pairing that thrives in the region's clay and limestone soils. The Faugères, made from Shiraz/Syrah, reflects the warmer, more Mediterranean character that this varietal expresses in the Libournais. Both wines have drawn assessment from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. The Puisseguin Saint-Émilion and Faugères each carry an average prestige rating of 88.5, placing them in the upper-mid range of critical recognition.
