Description

Château Pérenne 1997 – Premières Côtes de Blaye (Bordeaux)

The 1997 Château Pérenne is a red wine from the Premières Côtes de Blaye appellation, located on the right bank of the Gironde estuary. The estate benefits from well-exposed clay-limestone slopes that are ideal for producing balanced and generous wines.

The 1997 vintage in Bordeaux was early, marked by a swift flowering and an early harvest. Although the vintage is considered somewhat uneven overall, carefully managed estates like Château Pérenne crafted approachable wines with soft tannins and supple texture.

Now mature, this wine shows a garnet brick-red color, indicating a pleasing evolution. The nose reveals aromas of stewed red fruits, light tobacco, leather, gentle spices, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, it is round and smooth, with a pleasant, lightly oaked finish, and a refreshing acidity that provides balance.

The 1997 Château Pérenne is a mature, enjoyable Bordeaux, perfect for those seeking a classic wine with subtle expression shaped by time and terroir.
