Catherine Hubert’s great grandfather acquired Chateau Pey-Bonhomme Les Tours in 1890. Generation after generation followed with dramas such as fire destruction in the chateau and near devastating WW2 bombing failing to quench the family’s spirits. Fast forward to 2000 and the 6th incarnation with Catherine, Jean-Luc, Rachel and Guillaume Hubert converting fully to organic viticulture and biodynamics and are now the largest certified biodynamic estate in the region. Château Peys-Bonhomme is named after the aforementioned near incinerated 17th century tower built on a hill on the right bank of the Gironde estuary in Bordeaux. The vines are grown on a complex limestone, gravel, sand and iron rich clay soil, and this blend is 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Malbec. Using wild yeast ferments in concrete and aged 90% in concrete and 10% in 2-3 year old oak the wine then gets bottled unfiltered giving us…energetic fruit forward, fresh wine with juicy plums, star anise and herby bay tones, suggestions of tobacco and velvety tannins. And a cracking acidity. Truly bucking against the Bordeaux norms.

Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
