The Story: Château-Paran Justice is nestled in Saint Étienne de Lisse, at the bottom of the slopes down to Château de Pressac, taking its name  from the unification of two neighboring producers, Château Paran and Château Justice, dating from the 1900s. The vineyard is farmed in an environmentally-focused way, with the farmers opting to use horses over heavy equipment.

Why You'll Love Me: Delicate on the nose, yet savory and round -- notes of rich black fruit and plum slide to an oak-forward, spicy finish.
