      The construction of Château Plaisance dates back to the 1780s, however its vineyards are much older. Bordering the Margaux appellation, Château Plaisance's vineyards overlooks the Garonne River and counts with ten hectares. 

      The soils name 'palues' are mostly composed of clay, with a small percentage of sand. Its particularity is that is is located only a few meters away from the Garonne River. The 'palues' were gained on the river thanks to a draining technique implemented in Bordeaux by the Dutch. The 'palues' contain a large amount of sediments that were before underwater, making it a rich and fertile soil. In the past, wines produced on 'palues' were considered the best of their appellation.

      An elegantly matured Bordeaux Superieur with surprising persistence. Named after the limestone soils ('palues') of the vineyards, this blend of 70% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot is showing lovely earthy, leather and licorice notes along with cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant.

       A stunning value.

      Pair with rack of lamb and braised fennel.

      Opening with a red cherry–scented nose, leading into a lively, refreshing palate that remains light and fresh despite the ripeness of the fruit. Delicate notes of raspberry and black currant glide across the tongue, while subtle, mellow woody tannins lend gentle structure and a pleasing roundness to the texture, creating a balanced and approachable finish.

      This is an impressive Bordeaux for $25. There is good lift on the nose with heightened peony florality, raspberry, fresh cedar and basil. It is medium-full bodied, fairly plush and dense yet nicely strcutured, with quite gritty somewhat green and bitter tannin. Give it three years; should last beyond 2030 The length is excellent.

      This is a fine wine, rich and dense from a 43-acre vineyard in the west of the appellation. The alcohol is fully integrated with the ripe tannins from 12 months in wood, now softening and releasing the black-currant flavors. Drink from 2026.
