Description
L’Équilibriste Bordeaux Rouge boasts the classic structure of Bordeaux wines with great aromas. It is a beautiful deep purple-red colour with intense nuances of blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry and notes of peony, violet on the nose. On the palate, it is round, with crunchy and juicy fruit. Mineral and floral flavours continue on a subtle and silky tannic framework.

- Cabernet Franc – offers aromatic finesse
- Merlot – offers suppleness, fruitiness, and roundness
Ideal drinking period:
This cuvee is designed for drinking young (up to three years) to reveal the abundance of fruit.
Pairing:
The L’Équilibriste Bordeaux Rouge is ideal with roasted vegetables, grilled shellfish and Pâté en Croûte or other cold meats or charcuterie.

2021 vintage La Revue du Vin de France, July 2022 :
L’Equilibriste in the selection of the best French wines under €20 : 89/100
« Strawberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, but also a touch of mushroom, this wine is at liberty, with a
drapper juice and a slightly minty scent on the finish »
2020 vintage – Sud Ouest – Bottle of the Week
“Here is a summer red as only Bordeaux knows how to produce: fruity and pleasant, which can be refreshing in hot weather. A wine to share with friends, to enjoy under the pergola with a platter of cold meats. Produced without added sulfites.”
2020 vintage – En Magnum – Bettane & Desseauve, April 2021
“Bordeaux wines also know how to be real wines of pleasure and reveal expressive fruit.
With L’eEquilibriste, the new cuvée from château de parenchère, the estate takes one more step towards the Bordeaux that we love. Crunchy and delicious, made without added sulphites, from a winery on the way to organic farming respectful of the environment.”
2020 vintage – Terre de Vins, May 2021: GOLD NUGGETS: L’EQUILIBRISTE

2020 vintage – James Suckling, December 2022 – USA: Château de Parenchère L’Equilibriste 2020: 89/100
“Blackberries, bramble berries, nori and dried chilli on the nose. Fresh and youthful with a medium body and powdery tannins. Fruity and crisp. Cabernet franc and merlot. No sulfites added. Why wait? Drink now.“
