Tour Prignac Grande Reserve Médoc

Bordeaux classic from the Médoc, without detours: The Tour Prignac Grande Réserve combines power with suppleness — a red wine that immediately brings joy and yet brings substance with it.

Château Tour Prignac is one of the largest domaines in the Bordelais with around 300 hectares and ranks in the top league of Cru Bourgeois estates in the Médoc. Behind the winery is Castel, one of the most significant wine groups in France. In the Médoc, this means: classic Cabernet Sauvignon-emphasized assemblage, consistently geared towards structure and storage capability.

Twelve months of aging in French oak barrels shape the character: In the nose, dark blackberry and cassis, supplemented by cocoa and a hint of roasted coffee bean. On the palate, velvety tannins, medium body, good length. The finish is round, with a slightly spicy note that cleanly reflects the wood aging. No sharp tannins, no exaggerated wood — the wine remains balanced. For the 2015 vintage, Wine Enthusiast awarded 92 points.

Drinking temperature 16–18 °C. Goes well with braised beef, leg of lamb with rosemary, or a strong grated cheese like Cantal.
