CHÂTEAU LA PERRIERE

At the Means-age, the Château La Perrière was a monastery; the monks clearers planted the first vines on the calcareous slope. ? This one is drained by the small brook Perrière which controls the ground water favorably. This vineyard of 14 hectares (74% Merlot 24% Cabernet franc 2% Cabernet Sauvignon) is oldest of the appellation Lussac Saint-émilion. The control of the estate is reasoned there. The property, shone upon well, enjoys a remarkable situation and profits from a calcareous basement with which the rock, levelling, is covered with a surbedded argilo-limestone layer not exceeding 30 cm thickness. The Rose Perrière is elaborate in collaboration with Docteur Alain Raynaud.
