Château Haut-Vigneau is located in the commune of Martillac, a 20 hectare parcel that produces a red wine typical of its Pessac-Léognan appellation. Owner Eric Perrin strives to produce a truly classic wine, expressing both the power and the finesse of its fruit. The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot grown in deep Garonnaise gravel. It is aged in 20% new barrels that give it mocha notes. Pleasing aromas of black fruits—blackberries and black currants combine with a subtle smoky aroma. It is rare to see a true Pessac-Léognan wine at a $20 price. This is our deal of the month.
