Château Puy Rigaud stands as a distinguished expression from Montagne-Saint-Emilion, the northernmost satellite appellation of Bordeaux. This 2018 vintage showcases the region's characteristic blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, cultivated on clay-limestone soils that impart complexity and structure. The wine reveals dark fruit aromatics with subtle earthy undertones, supported by well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. A refined Bordeaux that demonstrates the quality and elegance achievable in this often-undervalued terroir, ideal for those seeking authentic Right Bank character without premium pricing.
