Château Puybarbe is located in the heart of the appellation of “Côtes de Bourg”. Three parallel lines of hills, along the Gironde estuary (just opposite the Margaux appellation in Médoc) gave this wine region its nick name of “Small Switzerland of Bordeaux”. The estate Chateau Puybarbe is located on the highest point of the third ridge line and offers a unique panorama that extends to Bordeaux embracing the whole Bourg area.
Inky core and a purple hue. Pure and layered nose, fresh dark berries, discreet oak and mild spiciness. Medium weight yet with dense fruit and good flavour intensity, grainy tannin, a fresh backbone and well built finish.
