Château la Vaisinerie
This red wine from the Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion appellation is dominated by Merlot (≈ 90%) with Cabernet Franc (≈ 10%). It shows a dense, deep colour and a fleshy texture with well-coated tannins, in a pleasure-driven style with good ageing potential. It is designed to be enjoyable fairly early while retaining the capacity to age, thanks to 12 to 14 months’ ageing in French oak barrels.
