The Story Behind the Bottle
Once known as Puy de Menjon, Château Capdet lies in the south of Listrac, with 14 hectares of vines planted on the gravelly hilltops of Fonréaud. It has belonged to the Raymond family for a century; the third generation – Jean-Marie – is in charge today. Unusually for the Left Bank, the property promotes a majority of Merlot in their Grand Vin – 56% – the rest being Cabernet Sauvignon with a dash of Petit Verdot. Ageing a year in fine oak barrels lends a richness and roundness to this mature claret. The family employ the talents of the great Eric Boissenot as winemaker and were rewarded with promotion to Cru Bourgeois in 2008. Best to stand your bottle upright for a few hours in case of sediment, then carefully pour or, even better, decant.
