Château Peybourdieu 2021
Médoc AOC
Enjoy savoury oak and leafy notes in this well-structured claret from a tiny estate just north of the Haut-Médoc. It’s from the cooler 2021 vintage, so has a fresher edge to the dark fruit. Open early for drinking now – or tuck away awhile.

The red wine
Château Peybourdieu is exactly the type of small, under the radar property we love to champion. It also illustrates Robert Parker’s advice not to “overlook the so-called petits vins of Bordeaux – they frequently compete with wines selling for two or three times the price”. Winemaker Denis Cayé is the third generation of his family at the property and his years of experience are evident in this fine 2021 vintage. The estate lies just north of the Haut-Médoc, between the Atlantic and Gironde estuary, protected from strong winds by forest. A classic Médoc blend of Cabernet and Merlot, it delivers blackcurrant, earthy and oaky hints with a liquorice and cigar box character. Open a few hours early and decant. It's excellent with roast meats.
