This is a fruity wine, with round tannins and a good color and volume. Easy and pleasant to drink whilst young, the wine will mature
well for another 2 or 3 years.
For over 100 years, the Queyrens family has preserved and passed on its know-how and its passion for wine from generation to generation. They own several Château in Bordeaux, such as Château du Pin-Franc, and Château des Graves du Tich in Sainte Croix du Mont. They purchased Château Pilet in 1965. The estate covers 65 hectares in the town of Donzac in the ‘Entre Deux Mers’ region, on hillsides overlooking the right bank of the river Garonne. The vineyard is composed of 2/3 of red varieties (60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc) and 1/3 of white grapes (80% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon).
Traditional methods of winemaking combined with modern and efficient equipment are the hallmark of this estate. Alcoholic
fermentation is performed in thermo-regulated vats for 3 to 4 weeks, which allows a full extraction of aromas and tannins. After a
few months of ageing the wines are clarified, assembled and bottled at the estate.
