Château de Paillet-Quancard 2019
Cadillac – Côtes de Bordeaux - 2019
Dating back to the 16th century, the Château owes its name to the neighbouring village of Paillet.
The symbiosis is complete between a vineyard and its birthplace, giving extra feeling to a wine that remains elegant, subtle and refined throughout the years and always lives up to expectations.
This very old vineyard was bought in the 18th century by Squire d’Alphonse, canon of the church of Bordeaux.
