Chateau Grand Pey Lescours Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Dark ruby ​​red in the glass, a bouquet of blackberry, cassis and damp forest floor — this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru shows the typical character of the right bank of the Gironde: velvety, structured, with real depth.

Château Grand Pey Lescours lies in the heart of Saint-Émilion, one of Bordeaux's most prestigious appellations. The soils here alternate between calcareous clay and sand—a combination that gives Merlot-dominated wines their characteristic richness and, at the same time, a fresh vibrancy.

After opening, it's worth letting the wine decant for 20-30 minutes. This allows the aromas to fully develop: dark cherries, a hint of cedar, and dried herbs. On the palate, soft, well-integrated tannins, medium body, and a rounded, lingering finish without any harshness.
