Pauillac Cru Bourgeois Château Plantey 1996
Château Plantey er beliggende i Pauillac i Bordeaux-regionen og bærer klassifikationen Cru Bourgeois. Slottet tilhører vinavlerfamilien Meffre, som har hovedsæde i den sydlige Rhône-dal, hvor de driver flere store domæner. Château Planteys 26 hektar vinmarker ligger samlet på et gruset plateau og er beplantet med vinstokke med en gennemsnitsalder på omkring 25 år. Vinen er aftappet direkte på slottet.
Pauillac er placeret i Haut-Médoc og anerkendes som en af verdens mest prestigefyldte rødvinsappellationer. Området er kendt for sine grusholdige jorde tæt på Gironde-floden og rummer tre af de fem første Cru Classé-slotte fra 1855-klassifikationen, hvilket gør det til et benchmark for venstrebreds-Bordeaux. Årgang 1996 var et særligt vellykket år i Médoc-området. Denne årgang har opnået en score på 94 point og beskrives som klassisk og struktureret.
Som en anerkendelse af kvaliteten blev vinen tildelt en sølvmedalje ved Concours Général Agricole i Paris i 1998.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux on the Atlantic is the world's most famous wine region and has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. The legendary 1855 classification still ranks the area's leading châteaux. On the left bank of the Gironde, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates on gravel soils, while the right bank is the domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The region is known for elegant, age-worthy blends of great finesse.
