Guard
As it ages, it develops notes of candied or dried fruit: apricot, fig, mandarin orange, as well as a slight toasted note from barrel aging. Even after a few years, it will retain all its charm and richness.
Food and wine pairings
Enjoy as an aperitif, on a goat cheese tart, with oven-roasted chicken thighs...
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Patrick Carteyron is one of the leaders of the vast Bordeaux appellation. He has made his Château Penin a benchmark in various appellations, colors, and vintages. The family estate has grown from 13 hectares in 1854 to 40 hectares today. The red wines, and in particular the fine vintages, Les Cailloux and Grande Sélection, are produced on stony Quaternary soil, the most noble on the estate. The more common sandy and clay soils are reserved for the production of delicious rosés and clairets. Year after year, clairet remains "the" benchmark for this appellation. Here you will find a wide range of wines at all prices, all focused on fruit, quality tannins and freshness, with charming and generous whites and rosés, and the famous clairet, as mentioned above, with its ever-vibrant fruit, which has made the estate's reputation. The red wines are richly fruity and flattering, notably a Grande Sélection cuvée that is always energetic.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
One of the regional appellations' sure bets, with several Favorites its credit. A 50-hectare vineyard established on gravelly soil on the left bank of the Dordogne, opposite Saint-Émilion. Founded by the Carteyron family in 1855, it has been run by Patrick, an oenologist, since 1982.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
Classified as HVE3, this wine is one of the finest examples of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur. Penin refines its range, drawing closer to limestone and gravel soils, while retaining the finesse of a fruit that appeals to the majority. Under the Natur' label, the estate produces a rosé, a clairet, and a red, shaking up the codes of classic Bordeaux somewhat.
