Château de Pitray Premier Vin 2015 Review
Made by one of Bordeaux’ oldest winemaking families, Château de Pitray's Premier Vin is a fine example of the incredible value to be found in the Côtes de Bordeaux Castillon appellation. It's a brambly, medium-bodied red, that shows a rich bouquet of attractive black fruits. Buy a case, drink half now, and enjoy the rest over the next few years.
