Gerrard Seal "A great little wine that is made to please."

Robert Mitchell "This super little Saint-Emilion comes from the southern part of Saint-Emilion close to Chateau Pavie. It's a classic Saint-Emilion pairing but rather than being aged in oak barrels as its big brother is, this is fermented and aged solely in stainless steel tanks. The wine has a delightful ruby colour and gives intense aromas of red fruits. The palate is elegant and well balanced and leads to a long, true finish." (2019 vintage)

Château Puy-Razac was founded by the legenedary French vigneron, Guy Thoilliez. His success at Château Monbousquet evolved into a professional interest in his own winery creating premium wine of exceptional quality. The winery has Grand Cru status. Château Puy-Razac is located at the foot of the famous 'Pavie' hillside, in the southern part of Saint-Emilion. With exposure to a magnificent sandy-clayey terroir guarantees very well structured wines that are known for their ability to age. The winery produces Cabernet Franc and Merlot (55%).

Saint-Émilion is a fortified historical village that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it also has two wine AOCs that are renowned worldwide: Saint-Émilion and Saint-Émilion Grand Cru. The latter appellation also allows the following titles: “Grand Cru classé” and “Premier Grand Cru classé”. The two appellations are geographically intertwined and benefit from an amazing diversity of soil and sub-soil types. They produce a wide variety of wines that can be supple, big, elegant, fruity or mineral. While the two appellation areas are hard to distinguish geographically, only the best wines are entitled to the Grand Cru appellation. They all uphold Saint-Émilion’s values of being genuine, genial and of great quality.

Red Bordeaux Blends are known for their powerful structure and deep flavors. Dark fruits and berries such as plum and blackcurrant are commonly used to describe the flavors of red Bordeaux, although there is an unlimited range of terms that have been ascribed to them. Tannins tend to be relatively high in these wines, giving them a firm structure.
