La Chapelle de Pitray is one of the lesser wines of the Cotes de Castillon estate Chateau de Pitray. It is produced from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc and vat matured.I have a bit of a soft spot for this wine. It is probable the first decent "cheap" Bordeaux I tried since I became interested in wine, and I'm also a fan of their "Premier Vin", which offers similar value for money. The property itself is gorgeous (see link below) - I will have to visit some day.
This is a very fruity, light to medium bodied wine that is great for everyday drinking. Frequently it's marked down a little bit to under £5 a bottle, but £5.99 is still good value.
