Sommelier's Notes

Magnificent carmine red color with bright purple highlights.


Intense notes of liquorice, iris and blackberry. After a few minutes of aeration, it gives off sweet aromas of spices and cold smoke, followed by a tannic which is both sweet and tight.


The fresh finish like a basket of fresh fruits lets guess the greatness of its limestone soil.


Winery: Chateau Hosten Picant produces both red and white Bordeaux wine with 32 hectares of vines are devoted to red wine grapes, and the remaining 10 hectares are dedicated to the production of white Bordeaux wine. The terroir is gravel, clay and limestone soils.


Age of the vine: 30-40 years


Ageing potential: 2-8 years


Culinary Recommendation: To be served at 15 C - 16 C. Older vintages might need very little decanting to remove the sediment. Best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes. Chateau Hostens Picant is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.
