Description
A family estate established in 1964 by George PERNETTE,
Château PASQUET is very seriously run by the two sons,
Michel & Jean-Francois and soon followed by Michel’s
daughter Lauren . Elaborated with the utmost care in an
up-to-date cellar mixing thermo-regulated stainless tanks
for vinification process and concrete ones for aging,
together with French oak barrels for a proportion of the
wine, All vines are planted on superb gravelly/limestoneclayey slopes located in Escoussans, 35kms (56 miles)
Southeast of Bordeaux, at a 100-meters altitude.
Château PASQUET is what we could call our “secret
gem.” Despite the fact that it has belonged to our
selection since 1992, we only started to suggest it for
Export from 2009 Vintage, since most of our allocation
was distributed by the Société des Bains de Mers
(Groupe Alain DUCASSE) in Monaco. Then – after a long
time and constant relationship – we are now fully
involved in bulk selection then blending, together with
Michel & Jean-Francois PERNETTE. Within few years only,
such a real expressive, deep and distinctive Red
Bordeaux, belongs to our Top and reputed wines.
As usual and since years, do spend hours in December
with Michel Pernette to taste each tank, each varietal
and plots concerned. The tremendous 2018 Vintage
brought and unbelievable ripeness , deepness and fruitiness to all the 6 Red Bordeaux varietal. But… tank # 20
big winner from A to Z. This is the 2018…. 100% Merlot
from the best plot located in Escoussans and fully vinified
with micro-oxygenation.
Tasting Notes:
Inky dark color again and again. Deep, fresh, big
impressive nose and palate. Full, round, ample,
and structured. Remains PASQUET… Modern, impressive and so sappy!
