The estate sits between the Monbazillac and Sainte-Foy-Bordeaux appellations, on soils derived primarily from Castillon limestone with a surface layer of clay, silt, and pebbles. Grapes are hand-harvested and fully destemmed before pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFermentation runs 15 to 30 days with daily pump-overs, and malolactic fermentation is completed in full. Aging occurs in a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel. The 2015 vintage in the Bergerac was a standout year: early flowering, early veraison, and a warm, even growing season produced well-concentrated fruit with natural roundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is dry, medium- to full-bodied, with dark cherry, blackcurrant, and earthy notes on the nose. The palate shows ripe, supple fruit, moderate tannins, and a warm, persistent finish. At 13.5% ABV, it drinks well now but has the structure to hold for another few years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Le Payral","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12310836281399,"sku":"CHLPBERG15C","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/pass2_49648f7a-0fa4-40df-b067-717d5845991a.jpg?v=1780619363","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/bergerac-rouge-chateau-le-payral-bordeaux-blend-bergerac-france-red-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
