Château de Parenchère
Visit Château de ParenchèreThe estate, whose foundations were laid in 1570 by Pierre de Parenchères, Sieur de Fourgoignières, is located in the extreme east of the Bordeaux region, at the gateway to Périgord. The estate, renovated in 1958 by Raphaël Gazaniol, covers 153 hectares in a single block, with a total of 63 hectares of vines planted on the best parcels of the property. These plots are located on hillsides only, so that rainwater can run off naturally without altering the quality of the grapes through excessive swelling due to water stagnation.

Jean Gazaniol took over from him in 1977 and succeeded in building the wines of the Château de Parenchère a reputation that soon spread beyond our borders. Today, he works alongside new shareholder Per Landin, a Swedish wine enthusiast who fell in love with the estate in January 2005. Together, they aim to serve the magnificent Parenchère terroir with rigorous, reasoned care, seeking to demonstrate that great wines can come from more modestly recognized appellations.

"Top quality-price Bordeaux

"We have here a Bordeaux that clearly deserves a generous score. The nose is subtle and clean, with notes of plum and blackcurrant and fine dark chocolate. The palate is supple and unctuous, with fine tannins, and a successful integration of 25% new wood for the 12-month ageing period. Some 'micro-oxygenation' - sending fine bubbles through the barrels - has broken down the tannins a little more, and it works here." (Decanter 2020) An incredible cuvée for its price!

This rosé wine owes its originality to its production process. It's what's known as a rosé de saignée: a rosé for which a longer maceration is carried out. It's a highly aromatic wine, more consistent than traditional rosé wines, with good substance and plenty of fruit. As a result, these rosés are perfect for the table, pairing perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine, grilled meats and spicy dishes. Astonishing!

"In organic conversion since 2021, this Bordeaux estate, well known to connoisseurs, is back in the spotlight with new cuvées. Like this sulphur-free wine, technically irreproachable. A fine Cabernet Franc expresses itself with brilliance and frankness " (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve).

"The color is supple on the palate, with a silky approach. The wine's dynamics open onto a wide range of aromas, from fruity to spicy. The wine is full-bodied without being overly complex. Serve with meat terrines". (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau). A wine of great concentration and elegance, capable of competing with the greatest Bordeaux wines...

14,5/20 Bettane & Desseauve

Notes : Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20
"Charming, this well-balanced clairet offers expressive, very pure fruit, hints of stone, a full, round, long and lively palate." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A fresh rosé much denser than a classic rosé, with plenty of flesh and roundness, and a very long, sustained finish...
