Producer's description
Chateau de Myrat - one of the wineries belonging to the family Pontak, which has more than 400 years of experience in the wine industry in Bordeaux. Her ancestor, Jean de Pontak back in 1533 founded the Chateau Brion and lived surprisingly long life (101 years), saw the reign of Kings 5: Louis XII, Francois I, Henri II, Charles IX and Henry III. Family history of winemaking Pontak continued his descendant Henry, Chairman of the Parliament of Bordeaux, which has given a new style of wine under the name "French Claret".
With each new generation of estates expanded, adding to the vineyards in Sauternes and Graves. In 1937, Max Pontak bought an abandoned estate of Chateau de Murat, located on the limestone plateau Barsac on the left bank of the Garonne River, a tributary crossed Sironi. Merging together, they create a special microclimate, characterized by persistent high humidity and morning mists. It promotes the formation of botrytis on grapes, berries making skin more permeable to the sun's rays, thereby increasing the concentration of sugar in the berries. The fungus enemy of all the wine-growers of the world, is magically became assistant in creating a sweet spicy wines. The next generation of the family - Jacques and Xavier Pontak produced a complete upgrade of the vineyard, and in 1991, after the break, was made the first wine Chateau de Murat. The next 3 years to get the frost did not give a full crop, which, however, does not reduce the temperature of its owners, and 1995 harvests are becoming richer. In 2001, "La Revue du Vin de France" acknowledged wine "Chateau de Myrat" the best sweet wine of Bordeaux.
