Situated close to the boundaries of Pauillac and St Estephe, this ‘cru bourgeois’ property derives its name from two ancient words, ‘Puy’ meaning ‘tertre’or hillock, and ‘Castera’ as in ‘castrum’, the latin word for a camp or fort. The 28 hectares of vineyard are planted with the traditional Medocain mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot. The consulting oenologist is M. Boissenot, the most discreet and distinguished advisor to many, if not, most of the top chateaux in the Medoc, so you will not see anything flashy or exaggerated in these wines. They are made with drinkers in mind, rather than investors.
A remarkable example of good claret at a good price. Another of our recommendations from Mark Savage.
