Chateau Tour Prignac Grande Reserve Medoc 2021
This Bordeaux blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (69%), offers a deep ruby red color. The nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe red fruits and spice.
The palate offers a creamy attack which gives way to a well-structured body with silky tannins. A very elegant wine with a pleasant finish and plenty of promise.

Château Tour Prignac
In the heart of luxuriant, leafy Prignac-en-Médoc, Château Tour Prignac’s famous towers soak up the sunlight, looking out over the largest single block vineyard in the Médoc. This is a haven of tranquility, where serenity reigns supreme, and the rising heat dries the last droplets that cling to the leaves. The vines, visible on the horizon of this exceptional property, the most northerly of the Castel Family Estates, where culture, wine, and cuisine exist in perfect harmony. Today, the property is one of the Médoc's largest, its vineyard having been wholly revisited in pursuit of quality. The entirely replanted plots of Cabernet-Sauvignon take advantage of maximum exposure to the sun, ensuring optimal ripeness.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France. It stretches 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast. In 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that remains largely constant over the previous decade. The main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and they are used to make different wines, each producer having its own blend and proportions of mixing the varieties. Here are produced some of the most famous, most expensive and long-lasting wines in the world - the well-known subregions Medoc, Graves, St. Emilion, Pomerol and many others. Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River on the left and right banks. Characteristic of the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is the more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of wine, while on the right bank (St. Emillion, Pomerol) merlot predominates. In addition to red wines, Bordeaux is famous for the production of white, mainly a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with the Sauternes subregion and the leading Chateau d’Yquem, famous for its complex and multi-layered, aromatic and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
