"We are seduced by the frankness of a juicy nose, with notes of rose and violet, and by its sensual body, well orchestrated around a sensation of roundness. Easy to drink finish. Keep for two years." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Patrick Carteyron is one of the leaders of the vast Bordeaux appellation. He has made his Château Penin a benchmark in various appellations, colors, and vintages. The family estate has grown from 13 hectares in 1854 to 40 hectares today. The red wines, and in particular the fine vintages, Les Cailloux and Grande Sélection, are produced on stony Quaternary soil, the most noble on the estate. The more common sandy and clay soils are reserved for the production of delicious rosés and clairets. Year after year, clairet remains "the" benchmark for this appellation. Here you will find a wide range of wines at all prices, all focused on fruit, quality tannins and freshness, with charming and generous whites and rosés, and the famous clairet, as mentioned above, with its ever-vibrant fruit, which has made the estate's reputation. The red wines are richly fruity and flattering, notably a Grande Sélection cuvée that is always energetic.

About wine:
This 100% Merlot wine, free from sulfites and animal products, offers a fresh nose of raspberry and violet. On the palate, it is supple and light. A simple, tasteful bottle that is ready to drink now.
About the estate:
One of the regional appellations' sure bets, with several Favorites its credit. A 50-hectare vineyard established on gravelly soil on the left bank of the Dordogne, opposite Saint-Émilion. Founded by the Carteyron family in 1855, it has been run by Patrick, an oenologist, since 1982.

About wine:
We are seduced by the frankness of a juicy nose, with notes of rose and violet, and by this sensual body, well orchestrated around a sensation of roundness. Easy to drink finish. Keep for two years.
About the estate:
Classified as HVE3, this wine is one of the finest examples of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur. Penin refines its range, drawing closer to limestone and gravel soils, while retaining the finesse of a fruit that appeals to the majority. Under the Natur' label, the estate produces a rosé, a clairet, and a red, shaking up the codes of classic Bordeaux somewhat.
