Tasting Notes
Peymouton is made from the younger vines on clay soils at Ch. Laroque – the largest estate in Saint-Emilion. Although sold via Jean-Pierre Moueix, the wine is made by the talented David Suire (as with Laroque). Deep in colour, the nose is vibrant with a touch of sweet oak. There’s a chalky texture, framing the fruit with savoury tannins that create tension with a pleasing bitterness on the finish.

The 2022 Peymouton exhibits aromas of rich berries, cherries and plums, followed by a medium to full-bodied, sweet and fleshy palate with a ripe core of somewhat jammy fruit that's framed by powdery tannins.
A medium-bodied red with velvety tannins and a spiced, chocolatey finish with hints of nut shell and dried flowers. Dry and chalky. 82% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 8% cabernet sauvignon.
Beautifullly poised plummy colour, clear glass-staining and vibrant edging. Rich texture visually but this provides an attractive contrast on the palate, with some excellent levels of freshness and even austerity at this stage. Touch of damson puree, crab apple even, pretty high acidity on the close of play. This is a 31ha property, harvest September 19 to October 5. Good value.
