Château Preuillac: Tasting & Drinking
My visit to Château Preuillac in late 2006 marked my first exposure to the wines of this estate. It was very instructive for me to taste them blind, against (as I found out when the labels were revealed) matched vintages from a highly regarded cru bourgeois property, the vineyards of which are located not too far from the Preuillac estate. The wines of Château Preuillac stood up very well against its more aristocratic peer, and it was immediately apparent what good value they were. At that tasting the 2005 was clearly the most exciting wine of the bunch, but I also enjoyed the light-footed finesse of the 2004, which had freshness and flavour, and will make for fine short term drinking.
