The Producer

Four generations have kept Château Puy-Razac in family ownership. The estate has held Saint-Émilion Grand Cru classification since 1945. Its red wines use Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with the house describing them through rich, deep flavours and refined tannins. Sustainable viticulture guides the farming.

Place

At the foot of the Pavie hillside, south of the Saint-Émilion village, Château Puy-Razac farms a single contiguous plot of 7 hectares. The ground is sandy clay. Clay can hold water, while sand leaves room for drainage, combining moisture retention with air around the roots.

Wines

Château Puy-Razac 2018 is a red Saint-Émilion wine made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It has rich, deep flavours and refined tannins, the defining sensory description attached to the estate's wines.

Final Word

Château Puy-Razac joins Saint-Émilion red wine with family ownership and a sandy clay vineyard at the foot of the Pavie hillside.
