Grand Vin De Bordeaux Appellation Médoc
~ Tasting notes ~

Château Prieuré de Blaignan is made from about twenty hectares of vines within Château Blaignan’s vineyard, and benefits from the same meticulous care as the latter, in both the vineyard and the winery. With a bright colour, it has an intense nose of red fruit, soft tannins and a delicately spicy finish. It is characterized by generosity and freshness. A smiling, easy-to-drink wine, perfect for an evening with friends.
60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot Sustainably Grown

JS92 Points-James Suckling

Attractive violets and redcurrants with darker forest berries and graphite, too. The palate has a lithe and plush red-fruit core. Vibrant berries abound. Try from 2022.

WE90 Points-Wine Enthusiast

This generous wine comes from a 239-acre property. It has weight, layers of black-currant flavors balanced by rich tannins and juicy acidity. The fruitiness is intense, given essential freshness by the crisp aftertaste. Drink the wine from 2022.

The 20-hectare vineyard of Chateau Prieure de Blaignan Medoc is entirely enclosed within Chateau Blaignan’s. Chateau Blaignan is a fine estate of 97 hectares (240 acres) in the northern part of the Medoc. It has been planted with vine since the 14th century. There is nothing left today of the an- cient fortress (seat of the Lords of Blaignan in the Middle-Ages, which gave its name both to the land and to the noble family who owned the manor), except for a few ruins next to the church in the old village of Blaignan. In 2004, CA Grands Crus, a subsidiary of Groupe Credit Agricole, acqui- red Chateau Blaignan. An improvement plan was put together for the entire estate. The star wine- making team, headed by up & coming winemaker Anne Le Naour (who is also the Managing Direc- tor) and Hubert de Bouard owner of Chateau Angelus, is making an outstanding wine that over de- livers in quality, while remaining affordable. Chateau Prieure de Blaignan is made with the same care and energy as the first wine and using a similar blend, the wine is voluptuous, fruity and fresh with soft and delicate tannins
