Quintessence

Peybonhomme-Les-Tours


A post-fermentation selection of our best vats, this is a different blend every year but consistently features Malbec and Merlot. Powerful and delicious on the palate with well-integrated oak, allowing prune and fig notes to emerge.
A wine which will reveal its full potential with a little time in the cellar.
