Chateau de Pitray Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2019 (750ml)

Château de Pitray is a Bordeaux blend from Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, a right-bank subregion known for its Merlot-based wines and approachable, fruit-forward character. This 2019 vintage captures that friendly style, a wine built for near-term drinking rather than the cellar.

The palate leads with ripe fruit, inviting and generous on first sip. Vegetal notes run through the wine with some prominence, lending an herbaceous edge that frames the overall impression. It's the kind of wine that opens nicely now and will hold well for a few years, best enjoyed without overthinking it.
