Winemaking and Terroir: Chateau Grand Peyrou is a family-owned estate spanning 20 hectares, with a history of winemaking that has been passed down through three generations. The vineyard benefits from a variety of soil types, primarily clayey-calcareous, located on the lower part of hillsides, which contribute to the wine’s depth and character. The vines are an average of 40 years old, adding to the concentration and complexity of the fruit.

The blend of this Grand Cru is predominantly Merlot (80%), which provides the wine with its rich fruitiness and roundness. The addition of Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%) brings structure, elegance, and a touch of spice. The wine undergoes traditional vinification in steel tanks, with a cold pre-fermentation maceration to extract maximum flavour. It is then aged for 18 to 20 months in barrels, with 60% new oak, adding a layer of complexity and depth to the wine.

Food Pairing Suggestions: Chateau Grand Peyrou Grand Cru St Emilion pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. It is an ideal match for poultry, especially when cooked in rich sauces, as well as red meats and game. The wine’s complexity and depth also make it a great companion to a selection of cheeses, enhancing the flavors of both the wine and the food.

Whether it’s a celebratory dinner or a thoughtful gift, Chateau Grand Peyrou Grand Cru St Emilion will not disappoint.
