OUR WINE MERCHANTS

Serious stuff for Bordeaux Supérieur. Dark purple, with intense aromas of crushec berry, mineral and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, with a solid core of tannins and a medium finish. Chewy. (James Suckling)

Our ratings

Classé dans «Bons à très bons vins». Avec la cuvée prestige du Château Reignac, le Pin Beausoleil figure au top de son appellation. Assisté par Stéphane Derenoncourt, M. PAUCHET a produit un 1999 très réussi : couleur vermillon. Nez explosif, nuancé, qui témoigne d’une très jolie maturité. L’attaque est pleine, avec beaucoup d’allant, corps élancé, finement tramé et très jolie assise caractérisée par des tanins fins et veloutés.

Region and vineyards

Chateau le Pin Beausoleil is grown on the best plots of the estate, one of 5 hectares near the chateau, in Saint-Vincent de Pertignas, on a beautifully situated, well drained clay-limestone plateau and on a smaller plot of 2 hectares in Merignas, in the middle of a small forest, the soil here also has a wonderful clay-limestone structure.
