2006 Chateau Pey la Tour Reserve, Bordeaux Superieur

Chateau Pey la Tour Reserve, Bordeaux Superieur is a Dourthe wine made on a property in Salleboeuf and is mainly plump Merlot, treated to some good quality oak. More than 80% of the vineyard is now benefitting from the restructuring undertaken when Dourthe acquired the estate in 1990, with the first vines now havin reached perfect maturity. The work carried out throughout the year in the vineyard limits the load and ensures optimal protection against the threat from disease. In this late-ripening region the grapes benefit from the optimal weather conditions from the end of August to the second week in October and the intermittent rain in mid-September had no influence on the staggering harvests of 2006.
