Puygueraud is one of several Bordeaux estates owned by notable enologist and wine consultant Nicolas Thienpont.The Puygueraud property was bought by Thienpont's father George in 1946. Its vineyards had been destroyed during World War II, so cereal crops replaced the vines for several decades. In the late 1970s, the soil had recovered and vines were planted again, producing their first vintage in 1983 .\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eCuvée George, is produced in honour of George Thienpont. Unusually for the region, it is always composed of at least one-third Malbec (a favorite of his) and a minimum 80 percent of Malbec and Cabernet Franc together, with Merlot only playing a minor role. It is only produced in excellent vintages like 2006.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTypical blend, \u003c\/span\u003eMalbec, Cabernet Franc, Merlot. 75cl bottle.

Have left it in the fridge over night and it's softened quite a bit. I'm still finding the tannins to be quite pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat happens next\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour bottle will be carefully hand-packed in our mail-safe wine boxes to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
