Saint-Émilion

Château Puy-Razac 2018 will go perfectly with white meat such as roast chicken or veal, but also with fresh cheese and chocolate cake.

The 6-hectare vineyard of Château Puy-Razac is located at the foot of the southern coast of Saint-Émilion ("Côte Pavie"), on a magnificent sandy-clay soil. The grape varieties here are relatively atypical due to the high proportion of Cabernet Franc (45%) compared to Merlot (55%). The combination of this exceptional terroir and this particular blend gives very well-structured wines that are recognized for their ability to age wonderfully. By taking over from her grandfather in 1997 - Guy Thoilliez, former manager of Château Monbousquet in Saint-Emilion - Catherine Leymarie-Thoilliez endeavored to develop the wines of the property through drastic and uncompromising research. quality, while respecting the spiritual heritage of his grandfather. This has resulted in the vines through the application of the most modern cultivation methods: short pruning, disbudding, green harvesting, leaf stripping, manual harvesting.

12 to 16 months in oak barrels (new and one wine or more)

When my grandfather Guy Thoilliez - then régisseur (vineyard manager) at Château Monbousquet - succeeded his father at the family winery he didn't want to create a product meant to stand in the company of the world's finest but rather worked hard to craft a wine of which he could be proud worth sharing with his family and friends. And since I have taken over from him in 1997 I have tirelessly tried to live up to his legacy and I have entered a compromiseless search for the purest quality through the highest respect of our terroir and its fruits.
