2011 Ch de Pennautier, AC Cabardès

Ch de Pennautier, AC Cabardes
In 1620 Bernard de Pennautier had the good sense to employ one of the chief architects of the palace of Versailles, Le Vau, to extend his already rather impressive familial home, located on the outskirts of Carcassonne. Nicolas and Miren de L’Orgeril are his tenth generation descendants, all ten of whom have made wine, celebrating this unique environment. The Appellation Contrôlée of Cabardès is located at an altitude of 700-1000 metres in the southern foothills of the Montagne Noire, itself a geological and climatic cross-roads displaying both Atlantic Mediterranean influence.

This marriage of great natural convenience is reflected by the grape varieties blended in this wine; Cabernet Franc 20%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Merlot 20%, Cot 10%, Grenache 20% and Syrah 10%.

The result is balanced and harmonious with Bordelais restraint and stony charm tempered by warmer riper fruit notes from the Grenache and Syrah. The 2011 is slightly leaner than the 2010, reflecting vintage conditions, but both are balanced and finely –wrought. This is excellent mid-week fare, and befitting the occasional high day too.
