Located in the heart of the Medoc, 10 km to the north of St. Estephe in Lesparre, Medoc, the vineyard of Chateau Preuillac covers 30 hectares in a single stretch. Facing due south, it enjoys outstanding exposure to the sun, providing ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen. In 1998, Chateau Preuillac was bought by the Mau and Dirkzwager families, who later bought Chateau Brown in Pessac-Leognan.
The management was entrusted to Jean-Christophe Mau, a 5th generation Bordeaux winegrower, who undertook major renovation in the winery and vineyard.
"Riper and more exotic, this wine has responded well to the warmer conditions in 2015 and given it a little more juiciness with the Merlot fruit really shining through. The oak is still bold and stern and this gives this vintage a powerful edge. In need of another two or three years to mellow, this is a superb vintage for Preuillac." - Matthew Jukes
