 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.
