Château de Pitray Les Prairies is a refined, approachable Bordeaux crafted at the oldest family-owned estate in the region, where the Simard de Pitray family has tended the land for more than 600 years. Situated just eight kilometres east of Saint-Émilion on the same clay-limestone plateau, the château's sustainably farmed vineyards produce wines that honour both heritage and terroir. Les Prairies opens with a vibrant bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and delicate black tea, leading into a palate defined by lively fruit, a gentle silky texture and graceful, polished tannins. Primarily Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, this elegant Right Bank blend offers notes of red berries, plum and subtle spice, finishing smooth and lingering. Versatile and sophisticated, it pairs beautifully with roasted meats, hearty stews or aged cheeses.
