Bordeaux fans may remember the 2012 vintage as a bit of a snoozer — one of those classic vintages sandwiched between some blockbuster vintages. Here’s the thing: if you bought any of the 2012s, and you’re just getting around to them now, you’re in for an ample reward for that cellar time.
Château Peyrabon is a Cru Bourgeois –nonclassified– property owned by Patrick Bernard, long-time Bordeaux négocient and managing director of Millésima. Interestingly, the Château’s vineyards are divided between the appellations of Haut Médoc and Pauillac. This split between the appellations declassifies all of the property to Haut Médoc, making it a bargain!
The 2012 Peyrabon is in a gorgeous spot right now — a prime example of Bordeaux at its peak. Briary notes of cassis mingle with tertiary notes of leather and graphite, finishing with round, dusty and soft tannins. Pull the cork on this one with a grilled or seared fillet of beef, lamb chops, or a savory stew. This is Bordeaux drinking like a dream and ready to enjoy now!
