Château de Myrat: Tasting & Drinking
The wines of Château de Myrat do not come my way very often, and I’m sorry to say I have only tasted a selection of recent vintages, often at the primeurs. This is a shame, as the story of this château-reborn is in itself captivating, and thus I find myself drawn towards the wine. Château de Myrat might have been lost forever; happily this is not the case, and thanks to the efforts of Jacques and Xavier de Pontac – and now their descendants – we still have the opportunity to taste and enjoy these wines. We should perhaps look upon this opportunity as a musical scholar would view the serendipitous discovery of a long-lost Brahms concerto. There is more here than mere fermented grape juice or musical notes; there is a fabulous story behind it all as well.
