The Story
I hail from Côtes de Bourg, a historic corner of Bordeaux where the Gironde River tempers the climate and ancient limestone-gravel soils shape wines with both structure and generosity. At Château Puybarbe, tradition meets thoughtful viticulture — old vines, hand-harvested fruit, and careful aging in French oak barrels. The “Gaia” cuvée reflects the estate’s commitment to balance: approachable in its youth yet confident enough in its pedigree to reward patience.
Why You’ll Love Me
I greet you with aromas of blackberry, plum, and a hint of tobacco leaf, followed by subtle notes of cedar and spice. On the palate, I’m lush yet refined — juicy dark fruit wrapped in smooth tannins and supported by lively acidity. My finish lingers with savory depth and a touch of minerality that speaks to my terroir. I’m the kind of Bordeaux that feels both classic and utterly inviting, ready to elevate your table and your evening.
