| Description: | Côtes de Castillon is named for the town of Castill on la Bataille and the battle that brought an end to the Hundred Years War in 1453. The AOC Côtes de Castillon is now one of the most fashionable of all the Bordeaux satellite appellations with several prominent winemakers buying chateaux there. The region is Merlot based and its wines have Right Bank characteristics. They can be drunk whilst young but are also able to age and improve with a few years in the bottle. The wines are known for being concentrated, fruity and typified by strong blackcurrant notes. Other flavours are plums, cherry, leather, raspberry and vanilla according to the terroir and the vintage. This ripe, fruity wine has soft tannins and a generous, warm character that makes it already drinkable. Better, however, to wait until its full potential is realized, from 2019. The 2015 Château Pitray has a well-defined, precise bouquet with blackberry and crushed strawberry fruit, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, not much depth here, but very well balanced with a silky smooth finish. This comes highly recommended, since it is usually well priced. |
